The benefits of solid ink

From greater ease-of-use to less waste, the benefits of solid ink are numerous. The simple design of solid ink technology means more simplicity for you – simple maintenance, less impact on the environment, fast speed, and less worry.

Easy to Use

• Drop-in loading of solid ink sticks is as easy as loading a stapler
• No toner cartridges to unpack, shake, slide in, pull out and dispose of
• No mess solid ink sticks are safe and clean to handle
• Fast speed to first printed color page is as fast as 5 seconds
• Save storage space because the packages of solid ink sticks are small enough to fit into a desk drawer

Environmentally Preferable

• Less waste than color laser printers with no cartridges to dispose of and far less packaging to add to landfills
• Non-toxic ink is safe to handle
• Recycled paper of any kind can be used with the same high-quality results
• Fewer CO2 emissions and less fuel is used from shipping because solid ink packages are smaller and lighter than toner cartridges
• Less energy is used to manufacture solid ink because of the simplicity of the design
• Free GreenPrint software with your new solid ink device saves paper, ink, money, and trees
• 2010 ENERGY STAR® qualified(ColorQube 8570 and ColorQube 8870 printers)
• Intelligent Ready technology feature learns your usage patterns to optimize power consumption and productivity

High Print Quality

• Consistent print quality from the first page of a print job to the last and one job to anot her
• Any media can be used with the same great results, including recycled paper, heavy stock, transparencies, and envelopes
• Photo-quality color with 2400 FinePoint™ print resolution mode
• Dense, saturated color in solid fills instead of “banding” or streaking that’s often found in large areas of color
• Excellent mid-tones and smooth gradients produce great results on tricky areas such as sky and skin

Reliable

• Virtually jam-free paper path that is short and efficient
• Simple design with far fewer moving parts means less chance for failure
• Xerox is committed to solid ink technology for one simple reason: it delivers color printing benefits like no other

Cost-effective
