Xerox Phaser 8550DP Printer Review

Xerox’s Phaser technology, bought into the company with its purchase of Tektronix a few years back, is unique among colour business printers. Unlike laser or ink-jet machines, the Phaser uses blocks of solid ink to print with. The ink is softened on a heated drum before being transferred to the paper and needs no fuser nor multiple layers of print, as a colour laser does.

..This is a fast business printer suited to environments where there’s a high proportion of colour content. It’s good for colour proofing work, but also for general-purpose printing, where you would typically consider a colour laser, but value ease of maintenance. If the price is daunting, the Phaser 8500N, slower and without duplex, can be had for around £510.
