Xerox Corporation recently launched a new series of business printers, ColorQube 9200 ink printers, which use solid ink instead of ink cartridges. The printer targets high-end business office printer users that produce significant daily color copy outputs and is designed to dramatically reduce the cost of printing color pages.
Green Features:
• 2009 ENERGY STAR Qualified
The ColorQube 9200 series meets strict standards for reduced power consumption. Its ability to enter a power-saver mode after a specified period of non-use is a key factor in receiving ENERGY STAR status.
• Smaller Carbon Footprint
Solid ink sticks use fewer material resources and less energy across the product lifecycle, from manufacturing to transport to end of life.
• Reduce Printing Waste
Cartridge-free solid ink is a true consumable, producing 90% less waste than comparable color laser devices.
• Cartridge-free means local recycling
Solid ink waste is primarily a small amount of packaging, which can be recycled locally using your usual method.
• Reduce Paper Consumption
Use as much as 50 percent less paper with automatic two-sided printing and copying.
ColorQube printers are any day better than other jet printers. Here is a comparison between the two:
