EVALUATE PRINT QUALITY

Performance is important when evaluating colour printers, but performance should not come at the expense of print quality. Evaluate printer output quality for photos, graphics and text to see if a prospective printer is capable of handling the office documents you regularly generate. Is the print quality consistent from one job to the next? Can you control the colour output of the printer to realise the results you need?

HOW THE XEROX PHASER 8560 EXCEEDS THE PRINT QUALITY REQUIREMENT

SOLID INK COLOUR TECHNOLOGY

The solid ink printing process is optimised for quality colour printing. Solid ink excels at printing smooth colour blends and gradients, and with 2400 FinePoint™ resolution, you can achieve the finest results for photographs and other high-resolution graphics, as well as solid-fill areas in charts and presentations. The Phaser 8560 printer creates office documents with crisp text and fine-line detail every time.

CONSISTENCY

Because there are no imaging components that wear with time, the colour output of the Phaser 8560 printer is consistent page after page and print job after print job. The colours of your corporate logo will look the same on a report printed in the morning as they will on a presentation generated in the evening. The same holds true on longer-run print jobs: Copy number 100 will always look just as good as copy number 1.

COLOUR CONTROL

The Phaser 8560 printer features PANTONE® Colour approved solid-colour simulations, as well as a variety of colour correction settings that help you manage colour output and ensure that printed pages match output from other printing devices or computer displays. Xerox Solid Ink Technology offers a wide colour range that strengthens colour control; solid ink output is also more resilient than other printing technologies to changes in temperature, humidity, and media type.

8560 specifications

The Xerox 8560 is an advanced color laser printer that exemplifies reliability and high-performance printing solutions tailored for demanding office environments. Known for its impressive speed and vivid output quality, the Xerox 8560 is widely recognized for its ability to handle large print volumes without compromising on quality.

One of the standout features of the Xerox 8560 is its print speed. Capable of producing up to 45 pages per minute for black and white documents and up to 40 pages per minute for color prints, the printer is designed to enhance productivity. This performance allows teams to meet tight deadlines without experiencing bottlenecks.

The printer’s advanced resolution of up to 1200 x 2400 dpi ensures that images and text are crisp and clear, making it ideal for producing marketing materials, presentations, and professional documents. This high-resolution capability is complemented by the printer’s ability to handle various media types and sizes, including envelopes, labels, and heavy cardstock, providing versatility for an array of print jobs.

Incorporating Xerox's proprietary solid ink technology, the Xerox 8560 utilizes solid sticks of ink rather than traditional cartridges. This unique approach not only enhances the quality of color output but also reduces waste, as users can benefit from more efficient ink usage. The vivid colors produced are especially advantageous for color-intensive applications, where striking visuals are essential.

Another key characteristic of the Xerox 8560 is its connectivity options. It supports USB, Ethernet, and Wi-Fi, enabling seamless integration into any office network. Additionally, it supports mobile printing technologies, including Apple AirPrint and Google Cloud Print, allowing users to print documents directly from their smartphones or tablets.

The user-friendly interface, characterized by a large color touch screen, simplifies navigation and operation. The printer also includes features such as duplex printing, which automatically prints on both sides of the paper, contributing to cost savings and environmental sustainability.

Lastly, security features such as password protection and secure printing options ensure that sensitive documents are protected, making the Xerox 8560 a trusted choice for organizations that prioritize data security. With its blend of speed, quality, and advanced technologies, the Xerox 8560 stands out as a robust solution for any business looking to enhance its printing capabilities.
