Lexmark Press Release

Lexmark International, Inc. (NYSE: LXK) today announced an assortment of photo papers engineered to offer customers a complete home photo printing solution. Optimized for use with Lexmark printers – including the P4350 and X3350, also announced today – and EvercolorTM inks, consumers can generate digital photo output of the highest possible quality.

“With innovative technology, Evercolor inks and now a line of high-quality photo papers, Lexmark offers the best photo printing solution for our customers on the market today,” said Najib Bahous, Lexmark vice president and president of its Consumer Printer Division. “This introduction reinforces the fact that Lexmark offers exceptional quality and value for consumers who want to transform digital images into brilliant photos at home.”

The combination of Evercolor inks and the Lexmark Premium Photo Paper produces brilliant photos that last longer than most traditional photos under display conditions without fading, and more than 200 years stored in photo albums*.

The new paper is offered in both standard Photo and Premium types and range in price from $6.99 for a 20 count 4-inch x 6-inch Premium pack, to $24.99 for a 50 count 8.5-inch x 11-inch Premium pack.  A total of eight new SKUs are available at major retailers, beginning with Target in April and Best Buy in July.
