This printer is eco-friendly and will reduce your carbon footprint. By introducing a variety of environmentally conscious settings, Xerox have enabled users to choose ecologically sound printing solutions. This device features low ink and low energy use settings and the ink sticks are non-toxic, and yet the Xerox ColorQube is one of the most powerful solid ink printers on the market. Two-sided printing further reduces paper usage, and Xerox has also managed to minimise the packaging requirements for ink sticks and thus provide valid sustainable printing solutions.
Design
Considerably smaller than many other laser printers, the Xerox ColorQube 8580DN is an excellent choice for users with high output needs. This device can print up to 85,000 pages per month, and it takes less than five seconds to print the first page. Perhaps not as pretty as many inkjet printers, this device makes up in performance what it may lack in style.
Advantages
Like the Xerox ColorQube 8580N, its "sister" printer boasts super print speeds, a high volume output, top print quality, durability and ease of use. This version throws automatic duplex printing into the mix (the D in Xerox 8580DN). Remote printing is combined with further top design and print software, making this device a dream for marketers and graphic designers alike. The device also features a 2GB memory, print speeds of up to 51 ppm, a 525-sheet input paper tray and a 350-page output tray. The Xerox 2,400 print resolution guarantees excellent print quality.
Disadvantages
We cannot find any faults in this device, apart perhaps from an aesthetics point of view. This printer is functional rather than stylish. It does not have any of the additional features of all-in-one devices. It is difficult to see how the Xerox ColorQube 8580DN would suit a family setting; the company designed this device with a high-volume office use in mind.
