Xerox 6000 Printer Review

The Xerox Phaser 6000 is a color laser printer made for midlevel offices specifically. Able to produce 30,000 pages per month, it should keep up with most offices well. The speeds are a little slow though. It takes about 17 seconds for the first color print to be produced and 14 seconds for the first monochrome document.

In order to print, four Xerox 6000 toner cartridges will be needed. These colors of printer toner are cyan, magenta, yellow and black. The black Phaser 6000 toner lasts for 2,000 pages, while the color lasts for about 1,000 pages each. Overall the cost per page of the Xerox 6000 toner is decent, when compared to other similar laser printers.

As far as user and expert reviews go, the Xerox 6000 is above average in most aspects. One of the most important features is the print quality—which buyers rate highly every single time. The colors produced are excellent, according to users, and documents produced will turn out detailed and professional. Another thing that people tend to really resonate with is the machine's very compact size. Anytime a laser unit makes a small footprint, it is that much better. The paper trays and paper handling options are also great too. Experts find that it operates much quieter than the competition, and they also love the inconspicuous design.

The speeds are reviewed poorly—generally people think it works half as fast as it should. Many also wish that the standard model came with networking. The biggest complaint tends to be in the price of genuine OEM Phaser 6000 toner cartridges. The cost per page with printer toner is actually much less than inkjet cartridges, but the upfront price can sometimes seem overwhelming. To save money, simply buy toners from third party vendors online instead of directly on the Xerox website or in a store.
