Dubai, United Arab Emirates - 11th July 2011 - A new solid ink color printer from Xerox Corporation - the second desktop product under the ColorQube® brand - makes color printing even more affordable for businesses of all sizes. The Xerox ColorQube 8870 solid ink color printer's 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 printer is ideal for offices that depend on color for business proposals, reports and fliers, as well as everyday documents such as e-mail and spreadsheets.

Vibrant, affordable color

The ColorQube 8870 offers an affordable way to unlock the benefits of solid ink color printing:

·         Priced at $2,499, the ColorQube 8870 features a lower total cost of ownership when compared to competitive devices, which could result in significant savings over the life of the product.

The ColorQube 8870 solid ink printer produces consistent color prints, regardless of media type, with features including:

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

  • Crisp text and sharp color images with Adobe Postscript3 and PANTONE® color-approved simulations.

  • High-quality color prints with advanced color matching capabilities and 2400 FinePoint™ image quality.

Environmentally responsible printing

  • Earth Smart print driver defaults for two-sided printing, proof print, recycled paper and draft mode. 

  • Intelligent Ready feature that learns usage patterns and moves to low-power mode when the printer is least likely to be in use.

  • GreenPrint software that automatically highlights unnecessary pages such as those with only banner ads or logos, prior to printing.
