Dubai, United Arab Emirates, 28th December 2010 - A new solid ink color printer from Xerox Corporation- the first desktop product under the ColorQube brand - makes color printing even more affordable for businesses of all sizes. The Xerox ColorQube 8570 solid ink color printer's cartridge-free ink produces high-quality color prints and generates 90 percent less 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.

Starting at $796, the ColorQube 8570 is perfect for small businesses that need a low initial price when making technology investments. The printer also keeps color print costs low, offering an affordable way to unlock the benefits of color printing.

Exceptional color print quality

The ColorQube solid ink printers produce consistent color prints, regardless of media type, with features including:

  • Color by Words color-matching technology that improves color accuracy and lets users select from a unique menu of words, such as "red apple," "blue sky" or "green grass," to fine tune the colors they want. The tool is now available in additional languages including French, Spanish and Portuguese.
  • 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

Green benefits of the ENERGY STAR® qualified ColorQube 8570 include:

  • 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, available for free download, automatically highlights unnecessary pages such as those with only banner ads or logos to eliminate wasteful printing.

Availability

The ColorQube 8570 printer is now available.

The printer is backed by the Xerox Total Satisfaction Guarantee.

For four consecutive years Xerox has been recognized by J.D. Power and Associates for providing "An Outstanding Customer Service Experience" in Technology Service and Support.
