Wouldn’t we all like to print more often in color? Color makes a bigger impact and we tend to remember it longer. Cost considerations and permanency are the reasons most often given for sticking with black and white, but patented Xerox Solid Ink technology has offered a solution to both of these problems. Find out why everyone from busy office managers to school photographers are making the switch to solid ink.
How Solid Ink Technology Works
Get ready to think about ink in a completely new way:
- Solid ink remains solid until ready for use. The printer melts the ink to the correct temperature when ready and then sprays the ink onto the paper.
- The ink solidifies or “freezes” in an instant and adheres to the cooler paper surface.
- The ink binds to the surface of the paper, resulting in lasting, water fast, vivid color that is fused to the paper, not soaked into it like traditional liquid inkjet printing.
- The unique qualities of the solid ink process means you can use almost any type or quality of paper, achieving superior color results for less money, time after time.
Even More Benefits
Non-staining solid ink sticks are safe to handle and safe for the environment. They’re also user-friendly, which means you won’t need a help desk ticket to replenish ink supplies. Solid ink loads much like a stapler, with the added benefit that each color is specially designed to fit only in the correct slot. Unlike inkjet technology, solid ink can be loaded in the middle of a print job or “topped off” prior to beginning a new project, saving both time and materials.
The Xerox ColorQube is part of a new generation of, “Intelligent Ready” office equipment, which means you won’t waste time waiting for it to warm up. Simply keep your printer turned on. It will gather intelligence about your unique work patterns, gearing up for the weekday and taking it easy for the weekend by reverting to an energy efficient standby mode.
Xerox Solid Ink is a low-cost alternative to laser and inkjet printers, producing superior results with a lighter impact on the environment. If you’d like to learn how your Colorado Springs offices can benefit, contact us at Preferred Document Solutions today!
