Save Money and Ink with Cartridge Free Xerox Printer

Xerox is one of the only printer manufacturers offering solid ink colour printing technology. Instead of the traditional messy and sometimes toxic toner and inkjet cartridges found inside other printers, Xerox has come up with the concept of solid sticks of ink to produce fantastic colour prints at a much lower cost. The solid ink is resin based and involves heating it before transferring it to paper, which is similar to large scale press printers, however all this has been fitted inside a desktop device called the Xerox ColorQube 9200.

Features of Xerox ColorQube 9200

  • Non-toxic ink is resin-based, similar to a crayon, so the sticks are safe to handle by anyone
  • No-mess ink won’t stain your clothes or your skin
  • Capacities of ink sticks can be up to 1,000 or 2,300 pages depending on the device
  • Load up to 5 sticks at a time (depending on device) of each colour in a solid ink device for long, uninterrupted printing
  • Stringent manufacturing of the ink ensures colours will be consistent. 100% of all ink is inspected, not a statistical sampling, which is commonly employed.

The Xerox ColorQube 9200 guarantees a reduction in the cost of ink compared with Inkjet and Laser printers (claimed 62% saving) and a faster prints-per-minute (up to 85ppm). The downside may be the expensive price. Because the Xerox ColorQube 9200 has four separate print heads along with a heating element, its price tag is $23,000.
