Xerox Keeps Color Affordable with New ColorQube Desktop Solid Ink Printers
Thursday 21. October 2010 - Two new solid ink color printers from Xerox Corporation (NYSE:XRX) - the first desktop products under the ColorQube brand - make color printing even more affordable for businesses of all sizes. The Xerox ColorQube 8570 and ColorQube 8870 solid ink color printers cartridge-free ink produces high-quality color prints and generates 90 percent less printing waste than comparable color laser printers.
With print speeds as fast as 40 pages per minute in both color and black and white, the printers are ideal for offices that depend on color for business proposals, reports and fliers, as well as everyday documents such as e-mail and spreadsheets.
Flexible pricing and affordable color
There are two affordable ways to unlock the benefits of solid ink color printing:
The ColorQube 8570 starts at $699 and is ideal for small businesses that need a simple, affordable way to make an impact with high-quality color.
Priced at $2,499, the ColorQube 8870 features a lower total cost of ownership with pricing plans that significantly reduce color page costs. Customers who print high volumes pay only for the amount of color they use on a given page.

Color by Words, a color-editing tool that allows for accurate and vibrant colors on the first print.
