XEROX Phaser series 8560DN Up to 30 ppm Solid Ink Workgroup Color Printer

Cons: Genuine ink is pricey compared to generic, but it's worth it to stay with genuine Xerox ink. If you use these in a small area, or close to your head, you can smell the ink melting a little...which may bother some people.

Pros: Fast, high volume printer that produces output with very vibrant colors (as long as you use Xerox ink).

Cons: Stopped working.

Pros: Started working very well - good print quality until it decided to start sending error messages. Xerox only supports people who buy from local dealers, so beware of buying from anyone else.

Cons: Xerox ink is a bit pricey. I'm trying another brand which will save enough to justify buying a new printer after a year or two. It is a no-brainer decision to use brand-x wax ink.A bit loud, but not annoyingly so.Secondary feeder on front doesn't seem to work, even when selected.Wax ink, I'm told, can't be laminated. Hasn't been an issue for me.

Pros: Good quality for photos, but not quite photo quality. I'm happy. Fast printing after warm up.Spits out pages amazingly fast after the warm upDouble sided printing is delightful. I make brochures and I'm thrilled with the quality.

Cons: Does make lots of funny noises.Cleaning/warm up cycle takes time and then it spits out paper like firing a bullet. Can't laminate without melting the wax.

Pros: Works great with Apple computers. Bought for home & home office use. I have a teenager and expect to print with it daily. It replaced a Dell inkjet printer that would not work with Apple computers.One day with the Phaser and it knocked my socks off. I am very pleased with my decision.Not quite photo quality, but I only notice it when I look very close. I picked super high quality images for test prints--and felt I should frame the output--it is that good. I'd like to try making my own calendars next.Duplexer is great and will save paper--reducing costs slightly.500 sheet feeder means I can drop one whole ream without needing a place to store partial reams. I was tempted to buy second 500 sheet feeder--but it works out to be cheaper to buy that separately. Maybe later.

Cons: None

Pros: Outstanding quality, inexpensive prints. As with all Xerox solid ink printers, gone is any concern over how the paper will detract from the printing. You get magazine cover quality printing even if you use newspaper as the medium. Great quality, fast, versatile.

Cons: QUALITY!! Do not be fooled, this printer does NOT have the same print quality of as a good color laser printer (hp4005). The resolution is definitely lower and noticeably pixilated at times. Gradients and solids do not look as good on this printer. Text is not especially good either! This printer is NOT as well built when compared to a good quality color laser in it's price band. HP makes a superb, solid color laser in the mid range price band.

Pros: Much simpler mechanical structure than a color laser; less to go wrong, less to replace. Consistent color. Fast first page out when warmed up. It is not especially noisy for the kind of machine that it is.

Cons: long warmup time. unlike others, the noise level doesn't bother me. especially not when it works so well

Pros: does everything as advertised. amazing workhorse. 30 ppm is great. nothing really bad to say.you can get aftermarket inks at half the price if you go to suppliesguys.com

Cons: none

Pros: Excellent PrintLow cost for consumablesNetwork printingDuplex Printing - easy to use

Cons: Takes a few minutes to warmup from a cold start. Printer dialogs a bit slow on networked workstations, but reasonable.

Pros: Solid ink, much less expensive than the mechanical toner cartridges. Full printer control over network. Very fast first page out when warmed up, literally just a few seconds. Duplex printing is a big plus.

Cons:A bit bulky and priced high for its class

Pros:Fast printing, High quality prints, scans, acts as a standalone copier and fax

Cons:A bit bulky and priced high for its class

Pros:Fast printing, High quality prints, scans, acts as a standalone copier and fax

Cons: We print large documents so ordered aftermarket memory to take it to the max. (On the plus side, it read it right away and had no issues with it.)

Pros: Very fast setup. Downloaded the latest setup files from Xerox; did not use the disk supplied. Ink has printed more pages per ink block than I expected. Total cost per color page appears to be extremely low based on 7,000 pages at this point. We were concerned that clients would object to the "look" of the solid ink (it is a little different than laser), but they appreciate the option for color in the document and overall quality of text and pics. The auto-duplex has worked flawlessly.

Cons: I have had this printer since May, the print head has been stuck to the cleaning blade 4 times so far. Xerox support has been out each time to repair the product. The Tech indicates that they do not have a definative solution for correcting this problem. The Tech indicates that his model seems to have this particular problem quite often. Xerox refuses to do anything other than send out the technician. Once it is out of warranty the price of a new print head will cost more than the original price of the printer.

Pros: Good print quality at a fast speed even in duplex mode.

Cons: Clearly designed with businesses in mind, so trying to make it work with 4"x6" photo paper (or other off standard paper sizes) is not a whole lot of fun. Stick with 8.5"x11" to save headache and lots of wasted photo paper.After a power outage, the printer has to be 'on the network' before the computers booted. In reverse order, the printer is 'found' but won't accept jobs.Sometimes (power out or physical movement) the printer sees a paper jam where none exists -- turn off and back on takes care of this.

Pros: Fast printing once it is warmed up, and that depends on where in the cycle your job happens to arrive. It goes 'hot' randomly during the day to keep the ink flowing.Quality is wonderful (text & graphics) and the best thing is the ability to default to a draft mode for most work, but select high quality for photos or business letters. Default duplex is particularly nice for avoiding an extra print for a line or two of a web page. A rough rule of thumb is a penny for ink and a penny for paper, so duplex is a major cost saving. Very easy setup and a neat little pop-up that tells you that the job finished (in a distant part of the house).

Cons: It has to "wake up" when coming out of standby, but I can wait a few minutes. I NEVER turn it off to prevent the heads from cooling down and clogging. This printer must be used consistently... don't let it sit for weeks of inactivity them come print a single page! It's designed for high volume use, if you're not doing that kind of printing, get a laser! It sometimes wakes up and cleans and grunts at odd hours, but I don't mind because I know it's taking care of itself for my benefit... could be a problem if in/near a bedroom. DON'T MOVE IT w/o cool-down for 30 mins. Download firmware updates, had problems printing some pdfs, but now everything works flawlessly.

Pros: This thing is awesome for volume FAST cheap double-sided color printing. I've saved lots and LOTS of money using this have have done extensive research to find the printer I needed. Appears to beat out laser for cost per page see others for ink suggestions. I networked it so all computers in home office can use it cable free. It fits a whole ream of paper in the tray out of the package! It has a good footprint and I like the layout and design. Not one paperjam yet. LOVE the duplexer, use it often w/ reports that look like books. It prints covers nicely and in color. I like the finish of the solid ink on the page, looks professional.

Cons: it's sometimes distractingly loud.it sets up incredibly easy, less than 10 minutes to remove it from the box and print a test page. pay attention to what you're doing and it won't print everything in its memory when there's a power outage. on powerup, it only prints 1 page to clean the head.

Pros: very fast, love the networking feature. I can sit on my porch or anyplace in my house and print. cheap on ink if you go to the Inkjet Superstore. they sell solid inks for less than half the price of xerox inks

Cons: On the other hand there is the con’s. One would be the noise of the printer makes. To me it’s a bit louder then I would like, but I have it in the same room where I work; so maybe that’s why.

Pros: For me one of the Pro’s with this printer is the speed it prints. I have just finished a 400-page color book-printing job and it was done very very faster, it seems to take more time to load the paper in the tray then it took to print. The other would be the ink, they (Xerox) says that its more operator friendly to use rather then the laser ink, and you know…. it is!

Cons: a little dithering is noticeable, so its not photo quality, but it is very close. had a power surge that reset in my home, which reset the printer and made it unusable until i reinstalled the drivers. the printer also reset when the print queue was flooded with PDFs, I probably filled the memory.

Pros: Way faster than an ink jet. I did a price comparison on ink...while the xerox solid ink is expensive, it is still cheaper than inkjets in the long run, you can also get cheaper ink from other companies. easy to setup

Cons: The wax/ink has issues with temperatures above 100 degrees. Ink will be wasted if you power cycle the printer or if you have a significant jam issue.

Pros: Good quality, reliability, economical and versital. Color printing at a fraction of the cost of laser color (per copy). No mess, little wasteage. Duplex works well as does the single envelope (manual) feed. A long lived device. Pictures are not photographic quality, but good enough for insurance purposes, etc. Xerox support is also first rate.
