Xerox Corporation introduced new color printers, Phaser 6000 and Phaser 6010. According to the manufacturer, these are the most compact and fast devices today for personal users and small workgroups of 2-5 people in companies SOHO and SMB markets.

Printing speed of Phaser 6000/6010 amounts to 10 and 12 color pages per minute, respectively, and the first page out time is just 17 seconds. The maximum monthly printing volume of 30,000 is the evidence of high reliability devices. The Phaser 6010 is different from the Phaser 6000 by availability of network connection, multi-purpose tray and enhanced intuitive control panel. Xerox Phaser 6000/6010 ensure accurate reproduction of the original color and form up to 16 colors in each pixel. The resulting images have a resolution of 600×600 dpi.

The printers implement HiQ LED printing technology developed by Xerox and Nippon Electric Glass Co Ltd. Printheads are made of bars containing 14,592 LEDs, and are controlled by a special chip controlling the regularity of the lamps light. New technology ensures a uniform fill, clean lines and solves the problem of “jagged” contours. Another guarantee of flawless reproduction of details is an artificially farmed Xerox EA Eco toner. The toner is produced by using a chemical process of “growing” particles, rather than traditional mechanical grinding, thus ensuring accurate reproduction of fine color details and give images a glossy look. In addition, the new printers Phaser 6000/6010 first use a technology that previously used only in professional machines: the devices have temperature and humidity sensors, which allows for the automatic fine-tune the settings of printing.

A new Xerox printer, the ColorQube 8570, is designed to meet the needs of small and medium-sized businesses and corporate customers for daily office printing. As the producer notes, the main distinctive feature of ColorQube 8570 is the use of solid ink technology, which allows making color printing affordable for users, providing performance, print quality and reliability in using the machine. Solid ink ColorQube 8570 replaced its predecessor — Phaser 8560. All subsequent solid ink Xerox machines will be produced under a single brand, ColorQube.

ColorQube 8570 suitable for working groups of 10 to 15 people. According to Xerox, ColorQube 8570 is one of the fastest A4 printers, with the speeds of up to 40 pages per minute, first print out time is just 5 seconds. The maximum monthly load is 85 thousand impressions per month. Such increased reliability is achieved by the printer design: the device has less moving parts than laser printers and no fuser.

Solid Ink technology enables more contrasting, bright and high-quality color prints with high color accuracy, as well as to print on a textured paper and various materials that are sensitive to heat.

In a typical configuration the printer is equipped with a 1 GHz processor, 512 MB memory, upgradeable to 2 GB, supports connection to a network 10/100/100 Base-Tx and running the Adobe PostScript 3. Option to ColorQube 8570 can be purchased hard drive with 160 GB wireless adapter, floor stand for storage of supplies and accessories, as well as additional paper trays.

Xerox Phaser 7500 – A New A3 Color Printer

Model Xerox Phaser 7500 is designed to replace the already obsolete printer Xerox Phaser 7400. This is the youngest model among the A3 printers. Xerox Phaser 7500 is aimed primarily at small and medium-sized workgroups who want more than just fast and good printing, but also inexpensive color office printing.

Appearance

There are four configurations of Xerox Phaser 7500: 7500N, 7500DN, 7500DT and 7500DX. The first is the most basic and does not support duplex printing. DT version is additionally equipped with a more capacious feeder tray, and standard equipment in DX is even more capacious hard drive and tray. Any of the standard configurations can be expanded with additional options. All models can be equipped with a special stand with compartment for supplies.

Xerox has announced that now users of the Enterprise Print Service (EPS) will be able to remotely print documents using mobile smartphones and tablets. With this service, customers can manage their printing tasks virtually anywhere.

The new feature is called Xerox Mobile Print Solution. It enables users to print out on remote printers e-mails, presentations and other documents from their mobile devices. The service supports any device that has access to e-mail. To print a document, a special security code must be sent to the server, after which the document will be printed and user receives a notification by e-mail.

Similar solutions are available from competitors. In particular, Hewlett-Packard offers the possibility of remote printing to the owners of Blackberry smartphones.

Remote printers must be compatible with the Xerox EIP software platform, which narrow the amount of available printers to only some products from WorkCentre and ColorQube series.
