Xerox Phaser 8560

The Xerox Phaser 8560 is the replacement for Xerox printer models such as the Xerox Phaser 860, Xerox Phaser 8200, Xerox Phaser 8400, Xerox Phaser 8500 or the Xerox Phaser 8550.  The only real noticeable difference between the Xerox Phaser 8550 and the Phaser 8560 is the shape of the wax blocks.  I know, pretty necessary to make a new model so they could change the shape of the wax blocks (so remanufacturers can’t sell compatibles.)

PROS –

The wax based engine gives print a shine which makes prints look like they were printed on more expensive paper.

The printer is small and super easy to load supplies in compared to it’s competitors.

Has  very good fill and saturation in its color prints.

Reasonable cost per print for low per month volumes

CONS

Ink will actually change colors if left in the dashboard of a car in the hot summer for a few days

Ink can be prone to flaking off when going through the mail on cardstock

Is not cost effective in higher volume per month applications (over 750 sheets per month in color.) If you are going to print more than this, you should be looking at the Xerox Phaser 8860 instead.
