Sum-up: Based on Xerox’s strong
solid ink technology, these multifunctionals offer excellent color at a
very moderate price.
The WorkCentre C2424 family is
unique, the only MFPs based on a
solid ink engine. That engine is the
basis for the excellent color printers
in the Xerox Phaser 8400 family. Solid
ink machines have little to do with the
more common, inexpensive thermal
ink jet MFPs for the small- or homeoffice. Instead, solid ink is a printing
technology that competes more with
laser and LED machines.
Xerox’s solid ink technology offers
what we consider excellent image
quality. Even the default lower-res setting seems to produce pretty accurate
color renderings, more than good
enough for office use.
These machines offer very
respectable speeds. The engines are
rated for up to 24ppm, both in color
and in black-and-white, in printing
and in copying.
Numbers don’t tell the complete
story her
e — 24ppm is achieved in the
“fast” mode, whose resolution (at
300dpi) isn’t as high as what we’ve
described above. The standard mode
of 18ppm (at 300 x 450dpi) offers
acceptable quality, however, and that’s
still reasonably fast for a color printer.

enhanced resolution of 400 x 563dpi
(12ppm) or photo mode at 525 x
600dpi (7ppm). These speeds are
selected in the print dialog box for
print jobs and on the front panel for
copies.
These models come with a powerful
500MHz processor, ensuring that they
will handle printed pages and copies
with ease.
The WorkCentre C2424 multifunctionals are tightly integrated and easy
to use. For example, when you have to
change consumables, you need only
open the top cover of the machine and
slide in blocks of ink that look and feel
like disk-shaped crayons. Set-up is
simple, too, since the scanner unit is
tightly integrated, requiring no assembly.
