Small-Business-Class Color Printers and Multifunction Printers Evaluator Guide
Evaluating Output Quality
When evaluating the output quality delivered
by the small-business-class color printers
and multifunction printers, first determine
the types of documents you most frequently
produce.
Do you need color output for simple, non-
business critical documents, or is your goal to
produce color business collaterals in-house,
such as pamphlets, newsletters and flyers?
Xerox leads the color printing industry,
delivering unrivaled print quality through more
than 20 years of technology innovations.

color
printers and multifunction printers provide all
the benefits of black-and-white performance,
plus the competitive advantage of color when
your work demands it.
The following describes the print-quality
attributes and features of the Xerox

small-
business-class of Phaser and WorkCentre
printers and multifunction printers.
Xerox Built-in Color Technologies

EA Toner
Award-winning, Xerox
®
-exclusive EA toner,
chemically grown to produce the market’s
smallest, most uniformly shaped particles,
delivers sharper clarity, excellent shadowing
and outstanding fine-line detail. It’s the same
toner used by our high-end, large-workteam-
class color printers and multifunction devices.
Automatic Color Correction
The automatic color correction technology
selects the best color settings based on
the print job’s content to ensure beautiful,
accurate color with every print.
Color Adjustment and Calibration Tools
Xerox
®
Phaser and WorkCentre print drivers
feature intuitive controls for adjusting and
calibrating color output, giving you greater
control over the appearance of your color
print jobs.
Industry-standard Color
Specifications / Tools
Resolution
Print resolution capability is typically
measured in dots per inch (dpi). However, a
laser “dot” can behave differently depending
on the printer. For example, the Phaser 6500,
Phaser 6600 and WorkCentre 6605 (all
covered in this guide) deliver up to 600 x
600 x 4 dpi, which produces an amazing 16
shades of color per pixel. Such print quality is
often perceived as being equal to or superior
to many 1200 x 1200 dpi devices. Other
factors contribute to print quality, as well,
including the presence or absence of the
features that follow.
PANTONE
®
Color
The PANTONE Matching System is the
definitive international reference for
selecting, specifying, matching and
controlling ink colors. Xerox
®
Phaser and
WorkCentre printers and multifunction
printers with PANTONE Color calibrated solid-
color simulations enable output to closely
approximate predefined colors in a Pantone
color table. This ensures that printed colors
consistently match your intended output,
which is critical when printing important
documents such as letterhead with color
company logos.
Adobe
®
PostScript
®
3™
PostScript is a page description language
that acts as an interpreter inside the printer
or multifunction printer. With true Adobe
®
PostScript
®
3™ print language, your
documents are printed with the utmost
brightness and the truest possible colors
and graphics.
