SOLID INK COLOR TECHNOLOGY
The solid ink printing process is optimized for quality color printing. Solid ink excels at printing smooth
color 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 color
output of the Phaser 8560 printer is consistent page after page and print job
after print job. The colors 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.
COLOR CONTROL
The Phaser 8560 printer features PANTONE
®
Color approved solid-color simulations, as well as a variety
of color correction settings that help you manage color output and ensure that printed pages match
output from other printing devices or computer displays. Xerox Solid Ink Technology offers a wide color
range that strengthens color control; solid ink output is also more resilient than other printing technologies
to changes in temperature, humidity, and media type.
MEDIA SUPPORT
The Phaser 8560 printer can easily handle a wide range of media to support the variety of document types
your busy employees produce on a regular basis. Supported media types include plain printer paper,
transparencies, labels, envelopes, card stock and business cards. Media size and weight support delivered

HOW THE XEROX PHASER 8560 EXCEEDS THE PRINT QUALITY REQUIREMENT
Performance is important when evaluating color 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 color output
of the printer to realize the results you need?
