Lexmark X9350 Wireless Office All-in-One (AIO) with Duplex printing

The availability of the new Lexmark X9350 Wireless Office All-in-One (AIO) with Duplex printing seems to have been largely overlooked by the technology news sites, but in our view it’s a significant machine, partly because it’s wireless, and mainly because it offers printing on both sides of the page. Given the amount of office paper used in every organization and considering that duplex printing is indeed a rare thing in SOHO environments, the US$280 Lexmark X9350 makes a lot of sense.

The built-in wireless capabilities of the Lexmark X9350 will appeal to today’s mobile laptop users who want the flexibility to print without being anchored to their printer, and prefer the clutter-free work environment of wireless. And for offices with multiple users, wireless and Ethernet networking make it possible to print from a single printing device – with or without a direct connection.

Customers looking for functionality that rivals high-end printers will appreciate the automatic two-sided duplexing feature of the Lexmark X9350 that gives a professional look to reports and other documents while reducing paper usage in the process.

Exceptional print quality is a fundamental need for many SOHO users, and the evercolor 2 pigmented ink technology along with Lexmark PerfectFinish paper makes professional calibre results a reality. From printing business cards, to marketing brochures, to fliers and presentations, evercolor 2 pigmented inks deliver crisp, clear results that are extremely resilient to the touch and the smearing effect of highlighter inks, as well as being water-resistant. The ink permanence characteristics and vibrant colours produced by evercolor 2 pigmented inks ensure outstanding printed results that stay that way.

The distinct, white and brushed metal design of the Lexmark X9350 houses an extremely rugged machine that’s capable of printing at speeds of up to 32 pages per minute (ppm) black and 27 ppm colour, with a 5,000-page monthly duty cycle.
