Section 2: Evaluating Colour Printers
Evaluating Environmental Impact
Environmental impact can be assessed in a variety of ways. The most obvious is
the waste generated by the operation of a printer or multifunction printer. Another
factor to consider is the weight of supplies and how that compares to supply weight
for other printer types. Lastly, think about the storage space required by your printer
and multifunction printer supplies – and remember that less is more when you opt
for Xerox solid ink supplies.
How the Phaser 8860/
Phaser 8860MFP exceeds in
reducing environmental impact:
Less Waste
Most people would agree that creating
less waste is a good thing for the
environment. It results in less landfi ll
contribution, less CO emissions in
2
shipping and less hassle for you. See the
comparison of the waste created over
four years of printing (approximately
192,000 pages) between laser and solid
ink. The difference is as clear as night
and day.
By nature of the cartridge-free design
of Xerox solid ink technology, the Phaser
8860 and Phaser 8860MFP produce
a fraction of the waste generated
by competing colour laser products.
Utilising the standard two-sided printing
capabilities will also decrease the
amount of paper your offi ce consumes.
Less Space
Xerox understands that space in your
offi ce is at a premium. Purchasing
equipment with consumables that take
up less space also contributes to savings
in shipping costs, reduced CO
in shipping and helps free up in-house
storage. Over the course of four years of
printing, the approximate space required
for consumables is:
• Typical Colour Laser – approximately
0.906 cubic metres
• Phaser 8860/Phaser 8860MFP –
approximately 0.087 cubic metres

Think beyond the ink. The benefi ts
of solid ink go beyond cost and
colour quality.
Over the course of printing 192,000
pages, the waste generated by typical
cartridge-based toner amounts to an
astounding 204 kg. Xerox solid ink, on
the other hand, produces only 10.5 kg.
of waste – an amazing ratio of almost
20 to 1.
