Colour is here to stay! Now with Lexmark’s new C540 Series, small- to mid-sized workgroups can tap into the business benefits
of using Lexmark laser colour. Come and experience the ultimate combination of outstanding print quality, rapid output speeds
and smart productivity tools – all packed into an amazingly small printer that fits virtually anywhere.
Simplicity in a snapshot!

Print Less. Save More.
Print less? This may seem like a surprising message for a company dedicated solely to printing. But when you consider that businesses spend, on
average, up to 6% of their turnover on printing, and that active print management can cut office print costs by up to 30%1, it makes a lot of sense.
Lexmark products, solutions and services provide innovative ways to save you time, drive down costs and reduce your impact on the environment.
We are committed to helping you print less and save more.
