Xerox 860 Ink
Phaser 860 Ink Sticks

Home and small offices need serious printing with features and software to make their business run smoother. The Xerox Phaser 860 printer is a great selection for these needs along with the more feature rich and powerful Phaser 8500 ink printer. The TekColor correction and Auto Install features allow you to get up and running to print in a matter of minutes. The TekColor correction on the Xerox 860 automatically changes and adjusts color variations to create pristine documents without your constant attention. The free Printing Scout, standard on all but the 860B, will alert you to any needs during the printing process to correct parameters as you print saving you time and money. A powerful 250 MHz processor and Post Script3 printing language further increase the printers' capabilities.

Along with these features the unit uses solid ink sticks. The Xerox 860 solid ink does not have a fuser and therefore has quicker first page prints than comparably priced laserjets. It should be noted that the initial warm up for a Phaser 860 ink printer is a bit longer as it needs to melt the Xerox ink for printing; this can be alleviated by keeping the printer on 24 hours a day. Because of the higher capacity of the 860 ink sticks, it has a lower cost per page than the Xerox 8560 ink, for example, which has a lower cost per stick, but less capacity. The Xerox 8600 models print at speeds of 16 pages per minute on the fast color setting and 10 pages per minute on the quick setting.

The maximum input capacity is 1,200 sheets which is perfect for the home and small business. Duplex printing is available on the Xerox 860DP and 860DX to further increase your efficiency. Networking is made possible through standard USB and parallel connections and the embedded print server is available on the 860B, 860N, 860DP, and 860DX models.
