Xerox Phaser 8560N (printer, color, solid ink)

Summary: I took a leap of faith on this printer: I'm very happy with it. It prints business graphics with detail and accurate color VERY quickly; faster than I've seen any printer. The printer literally spits them out!! It's printouts are leaps more vibrant than most color laser printers, but slightly less detailed than really expensive inkjet printers. It's printouts come out faster and more durable than inkjets though. Great for Graphic Designers to show detailed comps for everything from business cards to letterheads and brochures to greeting cards. It prints on almost ANYTHING. I've ran some test printouts through 135-degree water, not a blush... although the paper didn't last to long. I ran a test sheet through a color laser printer, NOT a good a idea. The heat from the laserprinter's fuser (I guess) melted the solid-ink already on the page and made it bleed further into the fibers, looking like an old inkjet print on regular paper. I leaves a unique, shiny, semi-raised/embossed printout, which I think is pretty cool looking. So far, replacement cubes of ink are cheap, when buying them through a 3rd party, and the replaceable maintenance-kit will not be needed until I hit the 10000 page count. Like most printers in this price, it is not a full-bleed machine, so one has to design accordingly. Moving it from a location is no easy task and requires some time for the machine to properly cool down. The built-in help files (viewable through the LCD screen) are very helpful. Printing envelopes has been a little tricky, but I suspect I haven't read the manual yet. All-in-all, a great printer for graphic designers and small offices looking for a super-fast, waterproof printout with a lot of color and detail. I would suggest this machine for those looking to print brochures in limited numbers.
