The Problem With Xerox Wax Ink

The Problem With Xerox Wax Ink

If you have been looking at the Phaser series of color printers by Xerox, one foundational flaw exists in the product which will bother about 5% of the users of this color laser printer. If you are going to do mailers, then this product can be troublesome. Basically, it is a product to avoid if the primary printing would go on postcards or on the outsides of envelopes. Other than this,it is a great color printer. Technically, it is not a color laser printer, but it does fit into this classification.

As you use this color printer, you will find it does an amazing job on photos and brochures, but when heat and friction are applied (like with postal equipment, problems occur. If it is standard office color printing, buy away. Great printer. For mailers, consider a Xerox Phaser 6360, a HP Laserjet 4700, a Ricoh SPC420DN... A printer along these lines would be more suitable.

One other way the Xerox Phaser 8560 and the Xerox Phaser 8860 seem to fail is when they are placed in dashboards of vehicles. It does not generally create a big mess like other manufacturer's like to claim, when we tested it here in Denver on a 96 degree day with the windows up, it changed the color of the ink and seemed to more deeply saturate the page (you could look at the back of the paper and it was clear that some of the wax was soaked into the paper.

So, the two spots a business owner should not buy a Xerox Phaser 8560 or a Xerox Phaser 8860 are when the temperatures and direct sunlight would kill most animals or if there are mailers which require the ink to be in actual physical contact with the post office sorting machines. Other than those two circumstances, I love these printers!
