If you’re a department looking to upgrade your aging A3 multifunction printer, it’s a good idea to compare your options.

Submitted by Karla Metzler on

With the Xerox acquisition of Lexmark now moving from headline news into real-world portfolio changes, buyers are starting to see a unified print ecosystem that is reshaping how A3 and A4 fleets are bought, supported, and standardized.

This is a pivotal moment for Xerox as the office print market remains competitive. According to 360 Research Reports, in 2025 there were more than 143 million MFP shipments worldwide, largely driven by orders for A3/A4 machines.

From our experience in helping Texas businesses choose, support, and optimize printer fleets, this is one of the biggest platform shifts we’ve seen in the A3 space for Xerox.

In this article, we’ll break down what’s changing, what buyers should watch closely, and where we believe this portfolio is headed next.

Have you ever run out of toner at the worst time possible?

It can happen right before payroll packets need to print, when a school office is preparing enrollment forms, or while your team is pushing out a client presentation that has to leave the building ASAP.

As a print vendor, we work with both Xerox’s manufacturer-led supply automation and our own STPT Auto-Toner Shipment system. After helping businesses across North Texas manage printer fleets for nearly 40 years, we’ve seen where both systems work well, where they can fall short, and what makes the replenishment experience smoother in real-world office environments.
