What is Solid Ink?

Solid ink is a proven color printing technology only offered by Xerox. A solid ink printer or multifunction printer uses solid sticks (or blocks) of no-mess, non-toxic ink instead of toner or inkjet cartridges. Solid ink is easy to use, produces incredible color print quality, is cost-effective, and is very good for the environment.

Easy to Use

Drop-in loading of solid ink sticks is as easy as loading a stapler No toner cartridges to unpack, shake, slide in, pull out and dispose of No mess solid ink sticks are safe and clean to handle, unlike toner and inkjet cartridges that can leak Fast speed to first printed color page is as fast as 5 seconds Save storage space because the packages of solid ink sticks are small enough to fit into a desk drawer

Environmentally Friendly

Less waste than color laser printers with no cartridges to dispose of and far less packaging to add to landfills Non-toxic ink is safe to handle by even small children Recycled paper of any kind can be used with the same high-quality results Fewer CO2 emissions and less fuel is used from shipping because solid ink packages are smaller and lighter than toner cartridges Less energy is used to manufacture solid ink because of the simplicity of the design Free GreenPrint software with your new solid ink device saves paper, ink, money, and trees

High Print Quality

Consistent print quality from the first page of a print job to the last and one job to another Any media can be used with the same great results, including recycled paper, heavy stock, transparencies, and envelopes Photo-quality color with 2400 FinePoint™ print resolution mode Dense, saturated color in solid fills instead of “banding” or streaking that’s often found in large areas of color Excellent mid-tones and smooth gradients produce great results on tricky areas such as sky and skin

Reliable

Virtually jam-free paper path that is short and efficient Simple design with far fewer moving parts means less chance for failure Xerox is committed to solid ink technology for one simple reason: it delivers color printing benefits like no other

Cost-effective

Low purchase price and comparable cost per print to laser makes solid ink easy on your budget
