Alright, before I get the whiners, I went through the ColorQube manual for and found some of this information.

Art –
We expected the launch of the ColorQube to make some waves and your posts definitely are keeping the conversation going - it's like the Big 10 conference of printing!
I got some laughs from your ten commandments list.
If you’re ever in a situation as hot as #1, you should probably worry about more than just your solid ink prints! And have you taken an inkjet print out in the rain lately? Don’t get me started. LOL
Remember, solid ink engines consume power differently than laser, so ColorQube actually meets the new stricter 2009 ENERGY STAR qualification.
Also with the Intelligent Ready feature you can forget about the warm-up time. As you wrote in a previous post, Intelligent Ready automatically learns the usage patterns of your office to put the machine in sleep mode when not needed, and makes sure it is ready to go for the first person in the office (probably you!).
Document cost savings should always be looked at closely. We’ll be launching a document analyzer tool on Xerox.com that you can use before sending it to print and we don’t expect you to trust us – customers should definitely investigate their options with multiple vendors before making their choice.
Is a Letterman Top 10 Reasons to Go Solid next? To get you started:
- It gives you a good reason to walk around the office saying “SOLID”
- You just topped off the ink in every ColorQube in the building without interrupting anyone
- It melts in your printer, not in your hand
Thanks for keeping the ColorQube discussion going.
love the borg picture!
Resistance to the colorqube is futile!
When are we going to be able to sell mfp's that print moving pictures like that menu Uhura was holding in the new star trek film? I wonder what one of those clicks would cost...
Kevin, agreed the ColorQube is HOT! Ya know what I mean, I also think I've exhuasted my resume on the Qube. There are good things and bad things with the Qube, it's all about customer perception and value.
Hope this is a winner for you, and hope it's not for me.
