Section 2: Evaluating Color Laser Printers
Overview
Tabloid-size color printers open up a wide range of creative possibilities for
color professionals to create dynamic, attention-grabbing documents.
Small
and medium-sized print runs that once had to be outsourced can now be produced
inexpensively and conveniently at the click of a mouse. With many models from many
vendors offering a wide variety of features and capabilities, evaluating and selecting
the right tabloid color printer for your business can be a difficult task.
Based on years of research and experience with
the real-world needs of color printer users, Xerox
has identified some key areas and issues for you
to consider as you begin your own process of
evaluating tabloid color printers. They include:
• Print Quality (color accuracy and flexibility)
• Productivity (print speed and performance)
• Network/IT-Centric Features (ease of use/
management, cost of ownership)
This section of the Evaluator Guide will look
at each of these areas, suggest ways you can
evaluate a printer’s performance and capabili-
ties in these areas, and explain how the Phaser
®
7760 printer exceeds the expectations of
tabloid color printer users on all counts.
