Managed business services provider Itec South Africa has announced a strategic development in their partnership with Lexmark to launch its new A3 printer range, the Lexmark 9-Series, in the South African market – with Itec being the first to bring this next-generation innovation to local businesses.

“This launch represents a major step forward for South African businesses that want to modernise their print environments. We are combining Lexmark’s best-in-class A3 innovation with our proven ability to deliver at scale, nationwide,” says Gavin Meyer, executive director of Itec Group. “Lexmark’s global technology and Itec’s on-the-ground expertise form a powerful combination; one that’s set to redefine how organisations approach managed print in South Africa.”

Nicholas Reed, MD of Lexmark South Africa, comments: “Itec has long held Lexmark Diamond Partner status and is also our South African National Service Partner. Itec’s expertise and reach make them the ideal partner to introduce our most advanced landmark A3 range yet to the South African market. Together, we are enabling businesses to handle print in a highly reliable, easy to use, and more sustainable way.”

Designed to meet the evolving needs of modern workplaces, the Lexmark A3 9-Series delivers enterprise-grade, technology-driven performance, security, and sustainability, all in a more compact, efficient package.

Meyer says that Itec is seeing strong demand for cost-effective, energy-efficient print devices that integrate seamlessly with digital workflows, and Reed agrees: “There is a marked increase in appetite for smarter, more efficient print infrastructure.”

The new Lexmark A3 range is engineered to deliver exceptional versatility, simplicity and sustainability, with the added advantage of full cloud connectivity – allowing enterprises and SMMEs alike to dramatically boost productivity by making document workflows more efficient and automating tedious tasks, especially thanks to Lexmark’s AI-powered enhancements.

In addition, the Lexmark 9-Series features 60% fewer service parts, meaning that there is a significantly lower risk of breakdowns, less downtime, and fewer service calls.
