IBM InfoPrint 1552 monochrome laser printerThe IBM InfoPrint 1552N is a monochrome laser printer. Designed for small and medium workgroups, this machine can also handle the workload of a large workgroup.

As a scalable solution, InfoPrint 1552 features fast print speeds, flexible connectivity, and extensive input and output options.

The printing speed reaches 45 pages per minute, which is a bit faster than some laser printers of similar price range. The printing resolution is 1200dpi.

This printer can be connected directly into a LAN and serve as its own print server. Other most popular connectivity methods, such as USB, parallel to a PC, or via Ethernet cable, are available. The 802.11 Wireless feature enables InfoPrint 1552N to be easily used in areas that are difficult or impossible to cable.

A number of additional sources of input are available up to 4100 sheets total capacity. This is more that some laser printers of similar price range have. You can add the 250-sheet drawer, the 500-sheet drawer or the 2, 000-sheet drawer by one or all of them simultaneously.

A optional 500-sheet duplex unit is also there to offer two-sided printing for the environment conscious users.

IBM InfoPrint 1552 toner cartridges come in various yields and prices, so you can choose which one is right for you.

The control panel of the printer is user-friendly and allows even the most technologically inexperienced users to produce projects with ease. Navigational arrows are used to traverse the list/directory tree. The user can easily select the file, choose the number of copies to be printed, and submit the file for printing.

The printer features convenient USB Direct Port to print PDF documents quickly and easily. Once a flash drive is inserted in the printer, a list of PDF files and directories is displayed. Navigational arrows are used to traverse the list/directory tree. The user can easily select the file, choose the number of copies to be printed, and submit the file for printing.

Although it is possible to connect the InfoPrint 1552 directly into a LAN, viruses are not a problem as no files are executed on the memory device. The files are only read and printed, so no writing to the printer takes place.

All in all, this machine is intended for those who need high volume black and white printing and its features are in line with its price.

Xerox Phaser 8860

Xerox Phaser 8860There is no doubt that color documents and hand-out materials give you an advantage when dealing with clients and partners. Using color printing in internal office paperwork makes it easier to grasp information, improves readability, quickens documents search and sorting, decreases error rate and enhances learning ability. Given all that, you company’s benefits are obvious – cost-effectiveness and optimized use of resources.

There has been only one obstacle for massive deployment of color paperwork – high cost of color print. But with the slowing emonomy in the background, such deploying looks even more imappropriate. However, the new Xerox Phaser 8860 offers its users equally low cost of everyday monochrome and color printing.

Now there is really no difference between printing a black-and-white page and a color page. The cost is virtually the same as that of a monochrome printer of similar performance.

This printer is the first of a new series of products based on Xerox Solid Ink Technology. Constant development of this technology has made it possible to greatly cut the production costs of this type of consumables.

The Phaser 8860 can print as fast as 30 pages per minute in both monochrome and color; first-page-out time – 5 seconds. The printer supports two-sided output and network connectivity. The maximum duty cycle is 120,000 impression per month.

The Xerox Solid Ink Technology provides additional advantages:

  • Use of wide range of printing media
  • Enhanced reliability due to absence of the fuser
  • High fidelity of color reproduction and color brightness
  • Smooth and saturate solid colors

Advantages

The Xerox Phaser 8860 was designed with cost-effectiveness of use in mind. Major part of the saving relies on revolutionary low cost of color printing. Besides, the cost of a color printout is the same as of a monochrome page.

This equality has been achieved due to the cost of the three color sets of solid inks being identical to the cost of one black set, given the same yield.

Xerox Phaser 8860 is a choice of companies that don’t care for a short-term gain, but think of long-term cost decrease.

Apart from direct economy due to revolutionary low cost of color printing, there is also indirect savings:

  • You save storage space as the solid ink sticks require much smaller compared to regular toner cartridges boxes.
  • You don’t have to utilize used consumables. Disposing regular toner cartridges can be a real headache for large companies with high printing volumes. There is no such problem with solid ink sticks, you can dispose them right into dust bin.

Ease of use

Solid ink sticks are install into printer, just as easy as staples into stapler. All you only need to do is insert a stick into its cell, even without interrupting the printing! Each cell has a unique shape for each ink color.

The printer continues to work even when it runs out color inks – documents are printed in black and white.

The Xerox Phaser 8860 pays off within 6 to 12 months, depending on printing volume. After that a company receives pure economic benefits.
