Xerox Phaser 8400B review

Wednesday 15 June 2005, 12:15 PM

Okay till it breaks down. Repairs & Service contracts V.Expensive


Had one of these just over a year. When it works its fine and agree with the reviewers comments about waxy finish as its a solid wax inkjet printer. Shock comes when breaks down or you want extended warrenty. Mine got a blocked jet and its £280 callout plus any parts. Service contracts start around 400 per year. Reason: this used to be a Tektronix £4000 pound printer and although new price has dropped parts prices have not. Its built like a tank but if it goes wrong you scrap it and buy another. Not very green.
Also gives off a slight waxy smell due to hot wax. Noticable in the office to some people. I like the printer very much except for its repair costs.

Verdict

Although the solid-ink-based Xerox Phaser 8400 series offers expandability for a growing small business, its merely fair image quality might disappoint.
