Lexington

The parent company of the customization website Vistaprint.com, which employs 850 at its North American headquarters in Lexington, is set to reorganize under a new name and is spending hundreds of millions of dollars beefing up its systems, much of it in Massachusetts.

Lexmark International’s decision earlier this year to shutter its inkjet printer operations and lay off 550 Lexington workers might have surprised some, but it was mounting evidence of a business in transition.

For the past several years, the Lexington-based printer maker has been in the midst of changing strategies and made five key acquisitions since 2010 designed to take the company further from its roots only in printers and more into computer software and services.

During their quarterly earnings announcement Tuesday, Lexmark International executives might make their first public comments on how efforts are going to sell the company's inkjet printer operations.

The company, based in Lexington, announced in late August that it would shut down its increasingly small inkjet operations. The move came a few years after the company stopped producing inkjet printers aimed at home consumers because the customers weren't printing enough to meet profit expectations. Instead, the company had used the inkjet technology to complement its laser printer lines aimed at businesses.
