Lexmark Centralises AI-Powered Cloud Solutions and Expands 9-Series Printer Lineup
- Lexmark Cloud Services adds AI-powered document enhancement capabilities — including translation and redaction — under centralised, intelligent platform
- New A3 models extend printer and MFP portfolio’s range of price points, speeds and more
MAIDENHEAD, 4th February, 2025 — Lexmark, a global imaging and IoT solutions leader, today announced significant additions to two of its core print offerings: three new models for its landmark 9-Series line of printers and multifunction products (MFPs); and centralised AI-powered enhancements to its Lexmark Cloud Services offering. These additions further solidify Lexmark’s commitment to providing extensive printing innovations in formats accessible to organisations of all sizes.
Expanded 9-Series doubles down on versatility, simplicity and sustainability
The Lexmark 9-Series portfolio — which global tech analyst firm IDC called ‘disruptive’ last year when it was unveiled — emphasises versatility, simplicity and sustainability*. By expanding it with three new models, the lineup now includes an even more extensive AI-ready range of A3 printers and MFPs, offering customers a wider selection of price points, print speeds (from 25 up to 55 ppm**) and a choice between monochrome or color devices. Among other benefits, this allows organisations to create a cohesive Lexmark-only fleet tailored to their specific needs, from individual desktops to larger workgroups requiring A3 (or 11-by-17-inch) output.
In addition to the 9-Series models available in 2024 (CX833, CX961, CX962, CX963 and CS963), Lexmark is expanding the lineup with models CX950, CX951 and MX953.
“With these additions, the 9-Series truly shines as the premier line of printing innovation, cementing A4 simplicity in an A3 package,” said Arjan Paulussen, Managing Director for the UK, Western Europe and South Africa at Lexmark. “We’re offering businesses the flexibility to choose the perfect printer to meet their exact requirements, all while enjoying the benefits of Lexmark’s renowned reliability, ease of maintenance, and sustainability. The 9-Series optimises the absolute best in Lexmark craftsmanship.”
Cloud Solution Center centralises intelligent, AI-powered translation and redaction
Lexmark Cloud Services (LCS) — which global tech analyst firm Quocirca has repeatedly named an industry leader, most recently in 2024 — has also received a significant boost: the addition of the new Lexmark Cloud Solution Center (CSC) and its AI-powered translation and redaction capabilities.
LCS now provides a unified cloud architecture that helps partners and customers efficiently manage their devices; secure and optimise their output; and automate their document workflows:
- Fleet management: Cloud Fleet Management provides ubiquitous printer fleet visibility, remote monitoring, and centralised app and firmware deployment.
- Print management: Cloud Print Management enhances document security with controlled print release and real-time print analytics.
- Capture and workflow: Cloud Solution Center streamlines document workflows with capture, process and routing capabilities, now enhanced with AI-powered translation and redaction, enabling faster and more accurate document processing.
“Lexmark Cloud Services now empowers businesses to dramatically boost productivity by making document workflows more efficient and automating tedious tasks. Customers and partners can easily create and deploy workflow solutions through their entire fleet through the cloud,” said Larry Early, director of global software and services portfolio at Lexmark. “With its AI-powered enhancements and our comprehensive suite of solutions, we’re delivering an all-in-one cloud platform that – in combination with our extended 9-Series — truly transforms how work gets done.”
For translation, users simply take their documents in the original language; scan them using a Lexmark MFP that has been upgraded with translation capabilities or digitally upload them to the Cloud Solution Center portal; select the appropriate output language from dozens of choices; and receive a translated document via email, cloud storage option, direct print or cloud print management queue in as little as seconds. (A similar process is followed for CSC’s redaction and optical character recognition (OCR) capabilities.)
New offerings available starting immediately
- Lexmark Cloud Services enhancements, including the new Cloud Solution Center, are available immediately.
- The Lexmark CX950, CX951 and MX953 models are scheduled to be available in March.
