SECTION 1
Introducing the Xerox Phaser 8860 colour printer
and Phaser 8860MFP colour multifunction printer
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Welcome to a new way to think about colour. Years ago, Xerox brought the ease-of-use and
reliability of black and white laser printers to colour printing with its exclusive solid ink technology.
Now, Xerox is changing the game again with solid ink — this time bringing you colour printing
for the cost of black and white, with environmentally friendly supplies and the same great ease-of-use
and reliability that you’ve come to expect from Xerox solid ink technology.
Colour by numbers
Xerox has a revolutionary solution to minimise the operating costs of your growing colour print
volumes: What would you say if we offered you high-performance, vibrant colour printing for the same
cost as black and white?
• Colour for black and white — it’s true, with the Phaser 8860 printer and Phaser 8860MFP the cost of printing
colour pages is the same as printing black and white pages.
• Why buy colour laser? — imagine how much you can save with the Phaser 8860 printer and Phaser 8860MFP
versus comparable colour laser printers.
It is easy being green
Xerox solid ink printing technology has environmental responsibility built right in. You’ll be glad
you chose the Phaser 8860 printer or Phaser 8860MFP when you experience:
• Less waste — simply put, Xerox solid ink products generate less waste than comparable laser-based
printers and MFPs, with fewer supplies and cartridge-free design.
• Less space — reclaim your cabinet and shelf space with solid ink supplies that take less than one-tenth
the space of laser printer supplies.
Reliable, no-hassle people-pleasers
You’ve never had it so easy. Xerox solid ink printers make colour printing extremely easy, with
simple supplies, easy interfaces, and a range of features that maximise productivity.
• Simple supplies — loading ink is as simple as loading a stapler, drop the ink sticks into
the keyed slots and close the printer.
• Cartridge-free design — say good-bye to toner spills and print jobs interrupted by
empty cartridges — when one colour gets low, you can top all of them off.
• Maximise productivity — easy user interfaces, solid management tools, and proactive
features improve your productivity day to day and week to week.

Evaluating Colour Printers
OVERVIEW
Evaluating the Phaser 8860 colour printer and Phaser 8860MFP colour multifunction printer is unlike
evaluating traditional colour printers and multifunction printers. The Phaser 8860 and Phaser 8860MFP
pack a powerful mix of performance and functionality that help increase employee productivity and
improve your company’s use of colour.
With the Phaser 8860 and Phaser 8860MFP, Xerox has changed the game for colour printing.
Accordingly, the evaluation process should be adjusted to consider the following factors:
Evaluate Costs
Think about the actual per-page printing costs of your current black and white or colour printers, and
evaluate the savings you could realise with the Phaser 8860 or Phaser 8860MFP.
Evaluate Environmental Impact
Look at the amount of waste generated by your office equipment, and the size and weight of the
supplies you’ll need to store in your office.
Evaluate Ease-of-Use
Consider the day-to-day experience of using and supporting the printer or multifunction printer you
choose to deploy into your office environment.
If you evaluate the Phaser 8860 and Phaser 8860MFP using these criteria, and compare the cost
savings, environmental impact and ease-of-use of these products against their closest competitors,
you’ll find that Xerox offers a unique set of products that deliver an exceptional set of benefits.

EVALUATE COSTS
When evaluating the costs of printing, it’s important to first think about your current actual printing
costs, whether you are using black and white or colour printers. Once you understand the actual
per-page costs of your printing activities, you can gain a deeper understanding of the total costs
associated with your printer over its lifetime.
HOW THE PHASER 8860/PHASER 8860MFP EXCEED THE PRINTING COSTS REQUIREMENT
PER-PAGE PRINTING COSTS
When evaluating printing costs, most small and medium-sized companies think about the costs
of purchasing new consumables for their printer. Another way to think about printing costs is
the actual per-page cost of the pages you print, as this offers the truest reflection of the cost of
your printing activity. According to gap intelligence, inc.1, the average per page printing costs for
workgroup-class colour printers are 1.2 € cents for black and white pages, and
6 € cents for colour pages. The costs fluctuate depending on the area coverage
of the print, or the amount of toner or solid ink used to print the image.
With the Phaser 8860 printer and Phaser 8860MFP, Xerox is offering a
revolutionary solution for controlling colour printing costs. With these products,
the cost of printing colour pages is the same as the cost of printing black and
white pages. The chart below illustrates the area coverage rates for a variety of
commonly printed business documents, and compares the costs of printing them
on average colour laser printers against the Phaser 8860 and Phaser 8860MFP.
Take a look, and consider how much your company can save while deploying
colour capabilities into your environment.

EVALUATE COSTS (CONTINUED)
LIFETIME PRINTING COSTS
Companies can also evaluate their printing costs by considering the total cost of printing over the
lifetime of the printer (total cost includes acquisition and operating costs). If your employees are
printing 2,000 or more pages-per-month (four reams of paper or more), then you will find it easy to
see the cost savings you could experience with the Phaser 8860 or Phaser 8860MFP. At this print
volume, you can easily experience total cost savings of 30% over comparable workgroup-class
colour laser printers, and the savings you’ll experience will grow as your print volumes rise.
The chart below illustrates how the total three-year costs for the Phaser 8860 and Phaser 8860MFP
compare to workgroup-class colour laser printers — the break-even point is actually closer to 800
pages-per-month, but considerable cost savings will be realised at 2,000 pages-per-month and beyond.

EVALUATE 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 EXCEED THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
LESS WASTE
Most people would agree that creating less waste is a good thing for the environment. It results in less landfill contribution, less CO2 emissions in 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 office consumes.

EVALUATE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT (CONTINUED)
LESS SPACE
Xerox understands that space in your office is at a premium. Purchasing equipment with consumables
that take up less space also contributes to savings in shipping costs, reduced CO2 emissions 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

EVALUATE EASE-OF-USE
When you purchase and deploy printers and multifunction printers into your environment, ease-of-use
is a critical factor in how well your employees adapt to the new device. How easy will it be for your
employees to load supplies and keep the device running? Look for features that contribute to reliability and availability. Lastly, the user interfaces need to be well designed to help your employees maximise
productivity.
HOW THE PHASER 8860/PHASER 8860MFP EXCEEDS THE EASE-OF-USE REQUIREMENT
CONSUMABLE SUPPLIES
Once you load ink into a Phaser 8860 or Phaser 8860MFP, we think you’ll
agree that it doesn’t get any easier than solid ink. Like loading a stapler,
simply open the printer and drop the ink into its corresponding slot. The
inks are keyed to avoid loading into the wrong slot, and the cartridge-free
design allows the inks to be topped off before the printer runs empty, without
any workflow interruption. Solid ink sticks are safe to handle and spill free
— there is nothing to smudge your clothes.
RELIABILITY FEATURES
The Phaser 8860 and Phaser 8860MFP include a variety of features that help maximise the
availability and reliability of the device, ensuring you won’t have to wait for the printer or
multifunction printer to get your work done.
