Solid Ink Colour multifunction printer (Print, Copy, Scan, Fax) with colour prints for the price of black and white Solid ink is a proven colour printing technology only offered by Fuji Xerox. A solid ink printer or multifunction printer uses solid sticks (or blocks) of no-mess, non-toxic ink instead of toner or inkjet cartridges. Solid ink is easy to use, produces incredible colour print quality, is cost-effective, and is very good for the environment. - Introduced in 1991, the first solid ink printer won awards from PC Magazine, MacUser, and MacWorld
- Numerous awards and reviews have been received by solid ink printers and multifunction printers
- Fuji Xerox is committed to solid ink technology for one simple reason: it delivers colour printing benefits like no other
- Non-toxic ink is resin-based, similar to a crayon, so the sticks are safe to handle by anyone
- No-mess ink won't stain your clothes or your skin
- Capacities of ink sticks can be up to 1,000 or 2,300 pages depending on the device
- Load up to 5 sticks at a time (depending on device) of each colour in a solid ink device for long, uninterrupted printing
- Stringent manufacturing of the ink ensures colours will be consistent – 100% of all ink is inspected, not a statistical sampling, which is commonly used.
- Simple design consists of only three major assemblies: the print head (transfers ink to print drum), the print drum (transfers image to paper), and the controller (the brain that tells everything what to do)
- Short paper path means solid ink printers are fast and reliable
- Ink is instantly fused onto the paper using heat and pressure, which is why solid ink produces such great image quality on any kind of media. Toner and inkjet ink soak into the paper, so the image is dependent upon the type of paper used
- Constant evolution of solid ink technology has resulted in solid ink printers and multifunction printers that are reliable, fast, and economical
- More consistent print quality page after page and on any media
- Easier to use with no cartridges to load and unload, and no mess
- Less waste with no cartridges to dispose of, and far less packaging
- No paper curling or wrinkling that often plagues inkjet and colour laser printers
- Fewer parts so there’s less that can go wrong
- Faster than inkjet technology
- No special paper needed, unlike some inkjet printers
- A wider range of colours are printed by solid ink than most colour laser devices
From greater ease-of-use to less waste, the benefits of solid ink are numerous. The simple design of solid ink technology means more simplicity for you - simple maintenance, less impact on the environment, fast speed, and less worry. Easy to Use - Drop-in loading of solid ink sticks is as easy as loading a stapler
- No toner cartridges to unpack, shake, slide in, pull out and dispose of
- No mess solid ink sticks are safe and clean to handle, unlike toner and inkjet cartridges that can leak
- Fast speed to first printed colour page is as fast as 5 seconds
- Save storage space because the packages of solid ink sticks are small enough to fit into a desk drawer
Environmentally Friendly - Less waste than colour laser printers with no cartridges to dispose of and far less packaging to add to landfills
- Non-toxic ink is safe to handle by even small children
- Recycled paper of any kind can be used with the same high-quality results
- Fewer CO2 emissions and less fuel is used from shipping because solid ink packages are smaller and lighter than toner cartridges
- Less energy is used to manufacture solid ink because of the simplicity of the design
- Free GreenPrint software with your new solid ink device saves paper, ink, money, and trees
