IT is easily maintained and has the most user friendly ink cartridges. For general printing, The solid ink technology is magnificent, but when it comes to specialty printing like graphic design, many have said the quality is not quite there yet. I knew that there would be minor issues with the sticks, just as there are with every newly released technology. Waiting a year or so for the public to truly accept the new printing style, and for the company to relieve the printer of its problems is the best move.Xerox 8400 inkhttp://www.inktechnologies.com/xerox-phaser-8400-ink.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1936945586202903171.post-34230621802864933992009-05-12T23:09:00.000-04:002009-05-12T23:09:00.000-04:00Philip:

The Xerox does have a drum, and if there is a problem with the drum a major tear down may be necessary (info from copier tech board), however the drum in the Qube is entirely different from a drum that is used in a laser print engine.<br /><br />Where will the market go, it will all go to ink, period. As oil goes up so does the cost of printing a page, so liquid ink will be the mainstream technology until portable electronic readers take over, there's afew on the market now, but they have limited features on the cost is over $1,000 each. Look for these devices to be down to $30 or so in the next 10 years.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02207755310100083193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1936945586202903171.post-35095030815495221132009-05-12T13:33:00.000-04:002009-05-12T13:33:00.000-04:00I think Xerox has been severely lagging behind in ...I think Xerox has been severely lagging behind in the "Office" market. Most of their systems are geared towards production units and I think this is a step in the right direction - as far as bringing innovative technology to the office arena. <br /><br />If I am not mistaken, there is no drum on the ColorQube. Getting away from traditional systems makes people think again. Not necessarily because different equals "better", but simply because what was probably unfeasible 10 or 15 years ago is now feasible due to the large volume of color prints and copies that are being made.<br /><br />It has happenned in the oil industry where certain drilling techniques were not feasible at $ 10 or $ 20 per barrel. However at $ 50 to $ 150 per barrel, it becomes a different proposition altogether.<br /><br />I would like to see innovation that the average copier sales rep can hit the streets running without it seeming out of their league. The fact remains that 50% of the buzz generated by the ColorQube will be harnessed by Canon, Ricoh and Konica Minolta and end up meaning more systems in the field and a larger pie.Scott Trokelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08889105443977893074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1936945586202903171.post-17733045304930479322009-05-12T11:22:00.000-04:002009-05-12T11:22:00.000-04:00Great stuff, Art.

Strange, I was at the On Demand show in Phili and Xerox did not have the unit there, probably because it's not a print shop type unit. <br /><br />Thanx for the info on the cost to produce 15 sets, but unless I know how many color pages and of what type of coverage is on the page there is no way verify that the cost is 50% less on the Qube. <br /><br />I have have nothing against Xerox, I'm just playing devils advocate here and helping our members orint4pay know more about this system.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02207755310100083193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1936945586202903171.post-74382834088416281772009-05-12T03:21:00.000-04:002009-05-12T03:21:00.000-04:00Hey Art,

I think the most notable thing is how unremarkable it is. It looks and acts like most color copiers I've seen. Two sided color pages, collated, stapled, at good but not great speed. The prints feel and look like ordinary copier output, durable, easy to write on, easy to feed back into an ADF. High coverage graphic prints look kind of glossy but no more fragile than color toner output. Maybe because I didn't expect much, I was really impressed with this thing. And cheap! Typical business documents are a whole lot cheaper than anything, anywhere.<br /><br />Fifteen copies of a twenty page report, complete with color graphs, etc., is less than $10, compared to more than $20 anywhere else. Printing duplex with stapling took about ten minutes. Xerox has a winner here.Kendallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05361105051252315281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1936945586202903171.post-17255700057987828632009-05-11T22:20:00.000-04:002009-05-11T22:20:00.000-04:00Thanx buddy, most of this is common knowledge for ...Thanx buddy, most of this is common knowledge for this type of technology. Can't see why they just didn't do this with laser, let's face it toner whether color or black is cheap. I would also have to wonder how well the software works when having a mixed original document that has black, everyday color, usefull color and expressive color, do you think the system would start smokin and shaking????
