Color

Xerox Phaser color printers embody 20 years of printing experience. While different models are optimized for tasks, such as fast, easy, office printing or complex, large format graphic arts applications, all Phaser color printers share important characteristics that contribute to the Xerox reputation for color image quality.

Solid ink printers provide superior color print quality. This is achieved by the unique printing process of solid ink technology, as well as the Phaser printer controller. Working in unison with advanced printer driver software, your printer incorporates capabilities, such as custom color tables for color accuracy. The proprietary TekColor correction applies the best color correction mode to each element on the page. This results in bright, vivid colors in solid fill areas, good detail in photographs, and crisp text.

Your printer also uses True Adobe PostScript 3 for the most accurate page rendering and image quality. Together, these features combine to give you consistently high-quality results for a broad range of printing needs.
