What is Solid Ink?

Solid ink is a proven colour printing technology only offered by Xerox. A solid ink printer or multifunction printer uses solid sticks (or blocks) of no-mess, non-toxic ink instead of toner or inkjet cartridges. Solid ink is easy to use, produces incredible colour print quality, is cost-effective, and is very good for the environment.

The truth about Solid Ink

You may have heard the myths from those who don’t know about solid ink. But here is the truth.

The benefits of Solid Ink

From greater ease-of-use to less waste, the benefits of solid ink are numerous. The simple design of solid ink technology means more simplicity for you – simple maintenance, less impact on the environment, fast speed, and less worry.

High Print Quality

Consistent print quality from the first page of a print job to the last and one job to another
Any media can be used with the same great results: recycled paper, heavy stock, transparencies and envelopes
Photo-quality colour with 2400 FinePoint™ print resolution mode

Environmentally Friendly

Less waste than colour laser printers with no cartridges to dispose of and far less packaging to add to landfills
Less energy is used to manufacture solid ink because of the simplicity of the design

Reliable & Cost Effective

The majority of components are designed to last the life of the product
Low purchase price and comparable cost per print to laser makes solid ink easy on your budget
The Phaser 8870/8860MFP are unbelievably cheap to run, printing colour for monochrome prices
