Product Reviews

Phaser 8560 4.2 5 575 614 The workhorse that never disappoints Talk about under promise and over deliver! Anybody that needs a business quality printer should consider this. It runs and runs, efficiently and quickly. I don't think there is anything better on the market for a small business that requires substantial quantities. The ease of use and color quality of the dry ink technology leaves those ink jets in the dust. This is my second 8560. October 25, 2011 Very Dependable Printer We have had this as our main printer for over 3 years. The only minor problem we have had is that the dispay on the printer started to fail and was out of warranty. Xerox sent us the necessary part and directions on how to replace this at NO CHARGE. The printer has never failed to print and the print colors are excellent. We print photographs of the furniture we sell and they are always true to the colors they represent. We tried generic ink once and immediately went back to the Xerox ink because of the much better color on the OE ink. I would recomend a Xerox printer to anyone in the market for a reasonably priced, dependable printer that produces great quality prints. March 2, 2011 Too Good to Have Just One My company has owned six of these printers over the years, and we currently have four in use. For the price per page you can't beat this printer's quality and speed. We use them for everything from printing high volume office jobs for our wholesale division to printing full color brochures and signs for use at our retail garden centers. These printers also stand up well to abuse. One of our Phaser 8560s is in a production area where is exposed to high levels of dust, but it has worked perfectly since we installed it two years ago. March 2, 2011 Outstanding Printer - very happy! I am very happy with this printer. I thought my old inkjet printed nice and clear but once I got this printer I could see a vast improvement. The solid ink allows me to print very small fonts that are crisp and clear. Also, I am saving a lot of money by printing on matte type paper instead of glossy. The solid ink prints with a sheen to it which gives it a glossy appearance. May 24, 2010 This product has great features ! Hi, I want to know about a page, after i turn on my printer - Xerox Phaser 8560DN - print unnecessarily, a sheet of paper with colored comics, consuming too much wax cartridge. Some technicians were already in place and the problem was partially solved, because the 3 printouts, now only one is printed, which has already been a progress :-). I would like to know how to prevent this impression permanently. Thanks anticipate, Luis Ribeiro December 16, 2011 Phaser 8560 The pros for this printer is it is fast and the color is consistent, quality not photographic-noticeable dots, good for graphic design type and ink is efficient. After a year it broke down-broken print head-luckily purchased from a local business system that I paid extra for a maintenance plan -which covered this repair for a $130. Now a year later- printer almost 3 years old breaks again- printer head repair - $1000- which I will not repair. Perhaps I got a lemon- but the quality is junk for breaking that fast- and to boot-I do not print huge amounts! Also the printer was constantly printing code- after each file that I print I would have to switch usb hubs to prevent the printing in code- I wasted so much paper from this malfunction! I installed all the lastest drivers on my Mac and a PC. It did it to both- so I knew it was the printer no the computer. That said I do not recommend this printer- cost was $900- definitely not worth the money! November 7, 2011 Troublesome and inconsistent There are two series of firmware for this device. Why? I have no idea. The firmware seems to get corrupt after awhile for no apparent reason and Xerox has to come to rewrite it. There seems to be a memory leak as after two weeks to two months of printing (depends on how heavily it is used) larger jobs get an error page printed instead of the job. Cycling the power clears the symptom as reprinting the same job finally works. Drivers seem to get corrupt randomly and we have to delete them from the PC via Printers / Server Properties / Drivers and reinstall from the print server to fix. Not happy. Also, one must print the cleaning page frequently as blotches appear at inopportune times. November 2, 2011 Ink has to heat up At first it seemed to take a looooooong time before anything happened on this MFP, but now that we know that the solid ink has to melt first, we know what to expect. And, of course, we loooooove the print quality. Beautiful! October 31, 2011 2345...72next>>   > Read all Phaser 8560 reviews   > See product overview
