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.
Solid Ink compared to Laser and Inkjet
More consistent print quality page after page and on any media
Easier to use with no cartridges to load and unload, and no mess
Less waste with no cartridges to dispose of, and far less packaging
No paper curling or wrinkling that often plagues inkjet and colour laser printers
Fewer parts so there’s less that can go wrong
Faster than inkjet technology
No special paper needed, unlike some inkjet printers
A wider range of colours are printed by solid ink than most colour laser devices
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, including recycled paper, heavy stock, transparencies, and envelopes

Cost-effective
Low purchase price and comparable cost per print to laser makes solid ink easy on your budget
The Phaser 8860/8860MFP are unbelievably cheap to run, printing colour for monochrome prices
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
It's time to add colour to every document you produce and no longer worry about how much it costs. The Phaser 8860 colour printer and Phaser 8860MFP colour multifunction printer make it easy to create beautiful colour documents for the same cost as your typical black-and-white prints.
It's not a dream. Busy workgroups with high print demands can now afford to print in attention-grabbing colour every day. You pay a little more for the printer or MFP, but the printing ink costs are so low that you could recoup that extra cost in a hurry depending on how much you print.
Low cost of ownership with colour ink sticks that cost a fraction of laser toner cartridges
Create more effective documents by using colour that is more affordable than ever
Savings add up fast with every colour print - the more you print, the more you save
Drop the restrictions you had to place on colour printing
