5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect home or office printer for higher volume use, June 26, 2007

By	R. S. Winsor (Northern Virginia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought one of these a couple months ago and I am completely amazed at the quality and speed of the prints. They look highly professional on any white paper and even some "card" like stock (have not tried transparencies). The print speed is much faster than laser and so far the print server and all prints have been flawless. We print several hundred pages per month, and I have owned several various models of HP printers, none of which have printed so many pages without some sort of jam or need to reset the print server. I absolutely love the solid ink. It involves so little packaging, its almost sickening to think about all the waste of laser or even inkjet! Yes, this printer is better to be left on. It sits and makes no noise whatsoever in standby (can't say that about laser), and when I am about to print I just touch any button on the front panel to get it out of standby so that by the time I send the document to the printer, its all ready to go.
This may not be the best printer for the casual user, but for those that don't mind leaving a printer turned on all the time, this is by far the best printer I have seen. The duplex printing is fantastic also.
Note that you may want to place this somewhere such that there is nothing above the printer for at least a foot or so. The top lifts up to load ink, and it is somewhat heavy - you don't want to have to move it or unplug it to load the ink, so keep that in mind.
The price was hard to digest initially but seems like a real bargain to me now.

1.0 out of 5 stars Noisy, noisy, noisy, ink eater, great prints, November 27, 2007

By	Tony Korody (Santa Monica, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I think my title says it all. This thing is noisy - there is no other way to decribe it. It takes over a minute to wake from sleep (you never want to turn it off - it would waste a lot of ink and takes about 5 minutes) and then it starts to print. If you only use it for text it is pretty fast. If you use it on best quality with a lot of color and photos then it chugs along. I bought it to print color so don't be fooled by the 22 pages per minute claim. The other issues is the cost of the inks, which are actually colored wax pellets - pretty cool thecnology. It uses twice as much yellow as the other colors and 50% more cyan. Even in stanby it uses ink as the machine turns itself on every few hours in order to keep the ink hot. Speaking of inks, you need to know that the output is very glossy and raised on the page. When you run your fingers across a page it feels waxy, which in fact it is. The one good think I will say is that photographs look fantastic. If you want to buy it let me know.

UPDATE: We have now used this printer extensively since my initial review. Twelve and a half months after buying the printer it died. Xerox sent two different service techs over a two week period and basically rebuilt the machine - new gear system, new print heads etc. Now it works like a charm although it is still noisy in a small office. Ink usage has been cut in half and now per page costs are less than a laser color copier. I highly recommend buying the Xerox service agreement - our rebuild repair would have cost over $2,000 by the time they were finished. If I could change my rating I would certainly give it four stars
