The ColorQube 9200 series is today's innovative printing technology.
It combines our legacy of advanced multifunction product leadership with our proven solid ink technology, which has an 18-year track record of reliability. The ColorQube 9200 series uses solid sticks of clean, safe ink instead of toner or inkjet cartridges.
The ColorQube device is also equipped with the Xerox Next Generation Smart Controller Platform, which offers the latest network and security protocols to get your work done reliably and quickly—as fast as 85 pages per minute. ColorQube truly delivers revolutionary technology.
At AIM we've used and reviewed solid ink for years so we know which printer is right for your needs.
Drop-in Ink Loading
Each solid ink stick is uniquely shaped for easy drop-in loading and ink can be topped off at anytime.
Long-life Replaceable Cleaning Unit
Long-term print capacities and a single, long-life cleaning unit mean fewer interventions to load supplies.
Intuitive Touch-Screen Display
Large icons are displayed in full color on the front panel. They allow quick access to job and device status, help videos and troubleshooting tips.
Vibrant Print Quality
Because solid ink is transferred from the print drum to the paper in a precise state, the ink does not spread into the paper. This makes its color quality far less dependent on the paper's surface, allowing it to maintain excellent color quality on a broad range of media types.
Illuminated Paper Path
In the unlikely event of a paper jam, a lighted path makes it easy to locate and remove the paper.
Paper Handling
Two 550-sheet trays hold paper sizes up to 11x17 in., Tray 3 holds up to 2,100 sheets of letter-size paper, and a 100-sheet Bypass Tray handles media up to 12 x 18 in. and weights up to 80 lb. cover. Plus, two-sided output is standard on all ColorQube™ 9200 series models.
Finishing Options
Range from basic staple and hole punch to advanced paginated, saddle-stitched, folded booklets and Z- and C-folded brochures.
Consistent Color
Solid Ink technology enables low cost of color while producing consistently rich and saturated colors even on recycled and inexpensive papers, including duplex prints.

"Solid ink printing produces 90% less waste than laser printing"
We also recommend the Phaser 8400 for thick stock applications such as greeting cards and invitations etc. because it has more robust paper handling than most laser printers..
-- AIM
"During the lifetime of (A LASER) printer, the OPC drum needs to be periodically replaced as its surface wears out and print quality deteriorates. Toner cartridges also eventually run out and need to be replaced. Usually the toner cartridge and the OPC drum are housed separately, but in some printers, the drum is located inside the cartridge so that when the toner runs out, the drum must also be replaced, which greatly adds to the running costs of the printer and is very wasteful."
Green Technology:
Environmentally Friendly
Solid ink printing produces 90% less waste than laser printing, giving it a much lower environmental impact. Solid ink printers have only one consumable item, compared to numerous consumables in color laser printers.
"The result is dramatic: after 100,000 prints, a color laser can produce over 70KG of waste, while a solid ink printer produces about 2KG."[Link]

SOLID INK FAQ's
FAQ's
Is solid ink a new technology?
Why haven’t I heard about solid ink printers before?
Solid ink is one of the most successful workgroup color printing technologies ever. When we announced our first solid ink printer in 1991, its groundbreaking capabilities immediately won Editors' Choice Awards from PC Magazine, MacUser and MacWorld.
Successive solid ink printers have won over 50 major awards. Now more than ever, businesses, schools, and other organizations are taking advantage of solid ink's unique color quality, speed, reliability, ease of use, and low cost.
Is solid ink print quality as good as color laser?
Yes. In some cases, it's even better. Solid ink technology has advantages over laser in that it produces an entire color image in a single pass - eliminating the possibility of misregistration. Also, unlike laser and liquid ink-jet printers, solid ink printers produce consistently high color quality page-to-page and job-to-job on almost any kind of media - including everything from office paper to special letterhead, coated stock, and transparencies.
Does solid ink print slower the more color you add to the page?
No, it's full-color at full speed thanks to the single-pass design of the latest solid ink printers. Unlike even the fastest inkjet printers, filling the page with color from top to bottom won't slow a solid ink printer down at all. And our solid ink printers are twice as fast as the typical color laser - up to 16 color pages per minute.
Can solid ink print on both sides of the page?
Yes. Automatic two-sided printing is especially fast and reliable on Xerox solid ink printers because the duplex paper path is already built into every printer. The memory and software required to turn on the duplex function comes standard on the Phaser 8400DP.
Can I print transparencies with solid ink?
Xerox solid ink printers are legendary for their bright colors, smooth gradients, and fast, easy, reliable transparency printing. In fact, a recent review of Xerox solid ink in Presentations Magazine put it this way: "...probably the best printer for color transparencies I have seen, due to the rich and even color afforded by its unique ink system." And unlike some color lasers, there's no chance of having a sheet of transparency film melt onto a hot fuser roller because, with solid ink, there is no fuser.
How reliable is solid ink technology?
The elegantly simple design of a single-pass solid ink printer allows it to have 60% fewer parts than the typical four-pass color laser. The secret is in the printhead, which is precisely engineered and calibrated to deliver full-page full-color prints in one pass through the printer. The simpler, more color-oriented design of solid ink printers allows a shorter paper path and avoids all the cartridges, drums, belts, and rollers that make color lasers so complex. The best way to sum up solid ink reliability is to look at the stated maximum monthly color page volume: At 85,000 pages per month, it's over twice that of typical color lasers and up to 65 times that of color inkjets.
How many pages can I print with each ink stick?
A package of three solid ink sticks (cyan, magenta, or yellow) produces up to 3,400 pages with typical ink coverage. That's well over 1,000 pages for each ink stick. Also, unlike laser and inkjet printers, which must be allowed to run out of toner or ink, the solid ink design lets you drop an ink stick in the printer any time. Simply top off the solid ink sticks at your convenience and you will never have to worry about running out of ink in the middle of an important job again.
Are the ink sticks safe to handle? Are they messy?
The resin-based solid ink sticks are clean and do not rub off on hands or clothing. Unlike liquid ink jet or laser toner, solid ink cannot leak or spill in the process of replenishing the ink supply. And with no cartridges to dispose of, and only one other consumable, solid ink is the most earth-friendly network color printer available today.
Can I match the color output to my screen or to other color devices?
Matching what you see on your monitor or what you expect from your final production printer can be tricky. But solid ink is especially good at it for three reasons: (1) Since solid ink printers can print a wider range of colors than most color lasers, it is more likely to accurately render the target color. (2) Solid ink prints the same color consistently, page-to-page and job-to-job. (3) Extensive color management is built into every Xerox solid ink printer and includes TekColor Automatic Color Correction, which intelligently optimizes the color of every element on the page.
Solid ink printers are also easy to use and maintain. Ink loading is simple-each color has a unique shape-coded and numbered ink stick which ensures there's no mix up. The right color goes only in the right place. And, because solid ink is solid, there's no mess. The only other consumable is a maintenance kit, which takes less than a minute to replace, about once a year.
