Solid ink vs. toner cartridges
There are many benefits of using the solid ink that your Phaser 8550 printer requires, compared with the toner cartridges used in other printers. These include:
• Refills: Toner has to be packed in plastic cartridges which are an environmental nuisance. Many manufacturers offer recycling programmes but a huge amount of used toner cartridges still go to landfill. Solid ink, by contrast, is supplied as a wax block, which slots simply into the Phaser 8550 with ease. There’s less fuss, up to 90% less waste and no mess or hazards.
• Speed: Nowadays, solid printers can match laser printers in terms of warm up and speed. The Phaser 8550 printer can generate up to 30 colour pages per minute with the first page in as little as 5 seconds, so there’s no waiting around.
• Maintenance: Solid printers tend to have fewer replacement parts than laser printers, meaning less maintenance and fewer consumables to buy. This can lead to a lower cost of ownership. Laser printer consumables include toner cartridges, fuser units, image drums, transfer belts, waste toner bottles and more. By contrast, the Xerox Phaser 8550 requires only the solid ink blocks and occasionally a replacement waste tray. We also offer low cost maintenance kits to keep your printer running optimally, and you can easily fit these yourself.
• Costs and efficiency: Although solid ink printers can be a little more expensive than laser printers, the cost of solid ink blocks is typically much lower than toner cartridges, making your Phaser 8550 a cheaper option in the long term.
• Print quality: Solid ink produces comparable print quality in comparison with toner cartridges, but solid ink has the edge when it comes to printing on low quality paper. Because the ink is transferred to the paper in a different way than for toner, it is possible to generate beautiful vivid images with your Phaser 8550, even on cheap or recycled paper.
