 Fast, Capable, and Accurate August 21, 2008

I purchased this printer one month ago after owning (within the year) a Lexmark c530dn and an HP2600dn.
There is no comparison in quality of print, speed of print, cost of materials (practically half $ of the other two), and quality of machine/parts. The solid ink is a great solution as well.
I am a graphic designer and I do a good deal of printing (and printing large files) and I have been searching long and hard for a good machine that I could rely on and that wouldn't eat me alive on ink cost and consumables and that can print my files quickly (almost instantaneously). After trying out two competitors (mentioned above), I finally purchased this one and it's great. Highly recommended.
Pro: Fast, accurate, easy to use, reasonable usage cost, quiet, color quality
Con: You will need to be a person whom prints often or daily or the print heads will clog. This is a "working" machine and not something that needs to sit unused for a week or two. Also, when it prints there is a sudden, loud sound as the page is coming out. It's brief, but loud.
 A little waxy April 19, 2008

I bought this printer because of the low "ink" cost, which other users have mentioned come in wax blocks. The quality is very nice, I use it for when I want to print my office letterhead in color. The printer does take a LONG time to warm up, but I'm not a high-volume user, so that's OK. One thing I would like to warn people about is the downside of using wax inks. For one thing, if you take the page too quickly after printing and put it into a scanner, you can find black wax spots globbed onto your scanner. It comes off with alcohol, but my scanner eyes are not exactly easily accessible and it's a pain. The second thing is that there is a waxy film over the whole page, which you CANNOT highlight and is very difficult to use pen on, so it's not good for printing out reports for others to make comments onto the pages. And finally, I have never found the ink locally, not even at Fry's, so if you suddenly run out of ink, you'll have to wait for express mail because you have to buy it online. But all in all I am very happy with it.
Xerox Printer April 8, 2008

I purchased the xerox Phaser 8560N about one month ago. It is a great printer, clear color copies and fast once it warms up. It takes about 3 or 4 minutes to get ready to print from a sleeping mode. To conserve ink the printer must be left on all the time. The reason it uses more ink to shut it down and restart is that it goes through a cleaning process that prints a dark color page using all the colors. Even while it is in sleep mode the printer stays warm which in turn heats up my small office.
Great printer, but know how to get the most out of it March 20, 2008

There's already been good information about this printer and it's clearly great for business use. However, I think it can be good for home offices as well - as long as you do a good amount of color printing and know how to minimize the costs.
1) ALWAYS leave it on - a lot of ink is wasted every time it's switched off since the heated ink is dumped out.
2) Since has to be on, make sure to put it into "Power Save Mode" whenever it won't be used for awhile. This mode uses 56W versus 124W in standby. It takes longer to warm up, but you aren't wasting energy.
3) Use generic ink. This is the major selling point of this printer for people who need to print a lot of color images. There's really no need for Xerox ink because Media Sciences ink is nearly indistinguishable. The cost per page for color prints is much lower than laser printers using the generic ink.
Bottom line - if you print a lot in color and are tired of expensive toner cartridges, this printer will save you a lot of money since you can use generic ink and get the same results.
 Great printer, lousy support January 8, 2008

I got this printer from Staples free shipping. It runs hot, very hot even in sleep mode. If you buy compatible solid ink, it is fairly affordable. If you buy genuine Xerox ink, it is not worth it. It prints fast for the price,but it very noisy while printing. The first reviewer is wrong when he writes that the printer in noisy while in sleep mode. It is "Sleep Mode", it does nothing, hence no noise. But, it does wake up by itself for no documented reasons. When it does wake up by itself, it does make funny noises for about 30 seconds and freaks the dog a 4 o'clock in the morning. Thech support claims it is due to network activities. Well, it is behind a router and at 4 in the morning, the computers are OFF. They also tried to blame the power source. Very lame. Finally, when I got it back in June, it shipped with Beta Vista and XP drivers. Beta drivers. Again, very lame. And remember, this is not a photo-quality printer.
