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. |

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.
 |
- Non-toxic ink is resin-based, similar to a crayon,
so the sticks are safe to handle by anyone
- No-mess ink won’t stain your clothes or your skin
- Capacities of ink sticks can be up to 1,000 or 2,300 pages depending on the device
- Load up to 5 sticks at a time (depending on device) of each
colour in a solid ink device for long, uninterrupted printing
- Stringent manufacturing of the ink ensures colours will be consistent
– 100% of all ink is inspected, not a statistical sampling, which is commonly used

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
|
High Print Quality
- Consistent print quality from the first page of a print job to the
last and one job to another
- Photo-quality colour with 2400 FinePoint™ print resolution mode
- Dense, saturated colour in solid fills instead of “banding” or
streaking that’s often found in large areas of colour
