Hybrid Colour Plan Explained...

If you choose one of Xerox’s Hybrid three tier machines they will not monitor the amount of black ink on the printed page. They simply monitor how much colour ink is used on the printed page by counting every single colour pixel and billing you accordingly. For the very technically minded people, here are the actual levels used by Xerox:
 
ColorQube 8870 Maximum No. of Colour Pixels Approx. Colour Coverage of the A4 Page
Black+Useful Colour Less than 256,072 Less than 1.2%
Everyday Colour Up to 176,000 Up to 8.0%
Expressive Colour Over 176,000 Over 8.0%
 
Phaser 8860MFP Maximum No. of Colour Pixels Approx. Colour Coverage of the A4 Page
Black+Useful Colour Less than 342,560 Less than 1.5%
Everyday Colour Up to 190,000 Up to 8.0%
Expressive Colour Over 190,000 Over 8.0%
