May 22, 2002—Xerox Corporation’s newest office printers drive down the price of high-speed network color printing to less than $1,500 by using single-pass technology, which enables a printer to deposit all colors on paper in one pass, rather than the four passes required by traditional color laser printers. The Xerox Phaser 8200 solid ink color printer and the Xerox Phaser 6200 color laser printer offer cost and print quality advantages that make it practical to replace black-and-white printers with color.
At $1,499, the Phaser 8200 solid ink printer has a 300 MHz processor that allows for a first-page-out time of 9 seconds, as well as speeds of 16 pages per minute (ppm) in fast color mode and black-and-white. It prints on a variety of media types, including standard office paper, labels, and business cards. The printer uses Phaser 8200 ColorStix Solid Ink with four unique shapes designed to eliminate loading mistakes. In addition, the Phaser 8200 provides fast, high-quality black-and-white printing at a cost of around a penny-and-a-half per page, better than many competitive black-and-white laser printers.
Starting at $1,999, the Phaser 6200 has a 500 MHz PowerPC processor that allows speeds of 16 ppm at full 2400-dpi resolution. The Phaser 6200 has fewer consumables than the typical color laser printer. The printer also has a simple paper path that makes printing more reliable.
