The Xerox ColorQube with Solid Ink? Solid Choice.
Thursday, September 24, 2009 at 9:19AM The ColorQube: Vibrant prints at 65% saving over lasersAt prices up to 0.8 cents a colour page, laser quality prints are out of the reach of many businesses and offices. In fact, only 15% of the estimated 2 trillion pages printed last year were in colour. David Bates, director of product marketing for Xerox group, says offices around the world want to print more colour, but simply cannot afford to.
Step forward, the Xerox ColorQube, which aims to revolutionalise the way colour printing is handled, allowing more and more businesses the flexibility to decide how they want to print and what they want to print.
To save you money, a clever 'price tier' plan charges you only for the colour you use. Colour prints are split into three categories: Useful, when the content is mostly black and white; Everyday, for general color printing, and Expressive, for vibrant and detailed color pages. Using this model, it is reported businesses can save up to 75% on their color printing. The ColorQube analyses each document and stores what category it was printed in, so there's no loss of efficiency or human input needed.
The revolutionary print system - labelled Solid Ink - also delivers a host of other indsutrial and environmental benefits over laser multifunction printers. Instead of using toners, the ColorQube uses patented blocks of ink that are melted down and applied to a rotating drum. The nozzles on the Colorqube can deliver over 150million drops a second, which translates to approximately 85ppm printing and 55ppm copying.
Solink Ink blocks are non-toxic, produce no ozone and are completely safe to handle. Packing is very limited and the technology produces vivid prints on recycled paper, something which lasers have traditionally struggled with. The ColorQube is also one of the most intuitive multifunction printers around. Over time, it 'learns' the office printing patterns and powers up when needed at the beginning of the day. The result? No warm up times for you and quicker first-print times.
