Xerox ColorQube 8870 DN vs HP 4525 DN Save Thousands!
Solid Ink Color Printer Review
The 8870DN prints a full-colour page for around half the cost of most laser printers. Solid ink is greener and cleaner than laser printer toner with a much lower environmental impact, the ink block is "the cartridge" and is almost totally consumed by the printer so there are no empty cartridges to be disposed of.
- Color for the cost of black-and-white
- Color by Words color editing
- Print speeds up to 40 pages/min for color and black and white
- Save paper with standard two-sided and N-up printing
Speed and ColorNo one wants to twiddle their fingers next to the printer. ColorQube 8870's first page out is as fast as 5 seconds with output up to 40 pages per minute (color or black and white). Your first page will be waiting for you to make it from your desk, and you can print handouts and still make the meeting on time. When color is a priority, solid ink is your best choice. Turn your office into a do-it-yourself print house with ColorQube technologies that please the most color-conscious among us. PANTONE® approved solid-color simulations and Xerox color correction technology deliver rich results, and our Color by Words feature allows you to tweak colors at the printer. |
Color for the Cost of Black and WhiteIf you print lots of pages and lots of color, the ColorQube 8870 was designed for you. For offices printing at least four reams of paper each month, the ColorQube 8870 delivers an attractive, low total cost of ownership. Moreover, this printer gives you more while demanding less: print color rich documents for the cost of black and white, all while saving on paper and ink. Standard two-sided printing and our N-up feature will help you printer fewer pages overall and solid ink is small enough to fit in your desk drawer, giving you room in the storage closet for more coffee or other enjoyable supplies. |
Green and DurableXerox thinks printers should last, and the ColorQube 8870's high monthly duty cycle of up to 120,000 images means you'll have a reliable color printer for many years to come. This printer is built for a greener tomorrow — it creates up to 90% less waste and has a 30% smaller carbon footprint than comparable laser printers. Technologies like EarthSmart print driver settings and GreenPrint software mean this printer will learn your office's usage patterns and switch to low-power modes when you're not likely to use it and help you take greater control of what you print to reduce paper and ink usage. The ColorQube 8870 is also ENERGY STAR® certified. |
