Lexmark Predicts Print Future

Lexmark is planning on taking the printer battle to a new domain where cables do not matter anymore. While HP, Kodak and Epson fight it out for the top spot, Lexmark predicts that the way to the pinnacle is by going wireless. I had previously discussed on the 12 Wi-Fi Lexmark printers that was in line to get released in the market. Lexmark’s General Manager for Middle East has predicted that consumers would prefer to go mobile and hence would opt for a wireless solution.

“When we see the trends in the wireless space, the one missing ingredient from the mix is printing. [Modern] work patterns show that customers - whether based in homes or offices - are becoming increasingly mobile and are now demanding more flexible printing options. With our new range of colour laser printers, we can now offer users the ease of portability, combined with high quality print performance”

Wireless printing solution seems to be a practical solution for homes and small offices. But for IT firms who deal with confidential data, anything to do with Wi-Fi might not be an amicable solution as of now. The concentration for many such companies would be to secure data and reduce costs.
