The Xerox Phaser 8500 and 8550 are great options if you are looking for printing facility for an office network. They are quick in picking up data, could print pages faster and are inter operable with most networks. Moreover, the unique selling point of these printers is the use of Phaser 8500 inks, which are exceptional in their solid ink design and known for higher quality.

First, the options in Phaser printers are important to know. There are four versions of the 8500/8550, which range in price and quality. Each of these printers (except the 8500/N) print two sided documents. The higher end models (such as the 8550/DX) sport higher resolution and can hold larger stacks of paper. They also print more quickly. Lower end printers in this category print around 24 pages per minute, while the higher end machines reach 30.

The Phaser 8650 is a similar printer that is perfect for home or small office use. It has fewer options than the 8500 and 8550 (lower resolution and slower output), but Phaser 8560 ink uses the same technology as Xerox's more advanced options. This printer is less expensive than the 8500 series printers

The most unique aspect of this series of printers is, as stated before, their Phaser 8500 ink. Xerox has developed the only solid ink on the market that prints in one pass, allowing for greater printer speed without sacrificing quality. In addition, having a document print in one sweep prevents misalignement between passes that can result in illegible or unprofessional-looking documents.

Layering within an ink cartridge can lead to inconsistent and unprofessional-looking documents. Solid inks, like the Xerox 8560 cartridge, avoid this problem. They also can produce brighter colors due to greater saturation, and present fewer problems when the cartridge must be disposed of.

Phaser 8500 and Phaser 8560 inks are more expensive than other printer inks. However, brokers and other discounters can save their customers up to $150 from list price for a full cartridge set, allowing offices and individuals needing to print documents to do so at reasonable cost. These discounters are avialable online and in brick-and-mortar shops.

Xerox 8550 toner has been carefully designed to be the best ink on the market and to provide the highest document quality possible. This superior ink makes the 8500, 8550, and 8560 Phaser printers excellent choices for homes, small business, and larger offices. These printers are also highly efficient with all the options that you are likely to require, and thus are a good choice for any home or office.
