Phaser 8560 – A Great Alternative to a Laser Printer

The Xerox Phaser 8560 is an excellent solid ink color printer, widely available to buy online.

It produces high quality prints, up to a maximum resolution of 2400 FinePoint, and all at a high speed as fast as 5 pages a second – up to 30ppm, and that’s for black OR color prints. This makes the Phaser 8560 an excellent choice for the office, or aspiring graphic artists who might need to produce a series of high quality prints at speed.

The drivers are powerful and flexible, allowing you to get the printer installed quickly, as well as access each of its features with minimum fuss. The documentation that comes with the printer is also straightforward and thorough, making it easy for a novice to get to grips with it straight from the off.

The print cartridges are widely available, and priced competitively, driving the cost per page down below most of the printers rivals in the same class.

There are four models available, with varying paper capacities of 625 to 1675 sheets, and with optional two sided output. Each printer comes with Ethernet and USB 2 connections, giving you the option of connecting it directly to a network.

Perhaps the only negative feature of the Phaser 8560 is its size – it’s quite big and heavy. As problems to watch out for when buying a printer go, this strikes me as a somewhat trivial one for most cases.

The Xerox Phaser 8560 comes highly recommended, and is a great alternative to a laser printer for most people.
