Your first question is probably, ‘What is Solid Ink?’ Solid ink is a proven color printing technology offered only 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 color print quality, is cost-effective, and is good for the environment.

The first time I saw a block of solid ink it looked like a puzzle piece from one of the lost episodes of Star Trek. You know, when Spock would sit at a clear acrylic table and try to masterfully place it in a computer generated three dimensional stack. I digress, and worse yet, I show my age. You get my point by now. They look odd.

As it turns out, this technology has existed since 1991. Xerox’s proven solid ink color printing technology gives you the most value for your money. Solid ink produces brilliant, vibrant prints on a wide range of media, is the easiest technology on the market to use, and produces 90 percent less waste than a typical color laser product. That’s worth repeating… and produces 90 percent less waste than a typical color laser product.

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.

Ease of use is a key feature. Drop In loading of ink. It’s as easy as loading a stapler. There is no toner mess. No pulling of a tab only to watch a poof of toner appear in front of your face and land on that new white shirt. Unlike toner and ink cartridges, there is no leaking. Lastly you save storage space because the packages of solid ink sticks are small enough to fit into a desk drawer.

Solid ink technology is in office, high print quality that is nothing short of amazing. A bold statement but I make it with confidence and you are sure to agree once you visit our show room for a demonstration. It is 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 amazing results.

From a service and reliability standpoint, this new technology is reliable. They are virtually jam-free because of a paper path that is short and efficient. New technology allows for fewer moving parts with less chance for failure.

Last but certainty not least, the most important feature: These units are cost effective. In most cases, these printers save you 25-35 percent on document output costs.
