Xerox Phaser 8560

Xerox Phaser 8560

The Xerox Phaser 8560 is the replacement for Xerox printer models such as the Xerox Phaser 860, Xerox Phaser 8200, Xerox Phaser 8400, Xerox Phaser 8500 or the Xerox Phaser 8550.  The only real noticeable difference between the Xerox Phaser 8550 and the Phaser 8560 is the shape of the wax blocks.  I know, pretty necessary to make a new model so they could change the shape of the wax blocks (so remanufacturers can’t sell compatibles.) PROS – The wax based engine gives print a shine which makes prints look like they were printed on more expensive paper. The printer is small and super easy to load supplies in compared to it’s competitors. Has  very good fill and saturation in its color prints. Reasonable cost per print for low per month volumes CONS Ink will actually change colors if left in the dashboard of a car in the hot summer for a few days Ink can be prone to flaking off when going through the mail on cardstock Is not cost effective in higher volume per month applications (over 750 sheets per month in color.) If you are going to print more than this, you should be looking at the Xerox Phaser 8860 instead.

Why Fixing a Xerox Phaser 8400 is a Bad Idea

Tags: , , , ,

You have a Xerox Phaser 8400 and you have been having some print quality issues so you figure it is time to get the device looked at. That might be the worst idea you could have right now. Why? Basically, with the new cost per print plans, it is more cost effective for most customers to have a new Xerox Phaser 8560 or Xerox Phaser 8860 than it is to have an old printer you have to purchase supplies and maintenance for. Xerox has some AWESOME cost per print plans which can cost as low as $.05 per color print (if you do heavy volume) or $.12 if your volume is lighter. You can learn the advantages of being on a cost per print contract by taking a look at this cost per print presentation. Let’s say you print 2,500 color prints a month on the Phaser 8860 and you want to see how this compares to the Xerox Phaser 8560 or the Xerox Phaser 8860. Here are what the numbers would look like side by side. Once you see the supplies prices, you’ll see why I am saying it doesn’t make sense to repair the Xerox Phaser 8400.
