Xerox 8265 eco-solvent large format printer

Advantages: Good service & support, great print quality
Disadvantages: Too many mechanical problems - not reliable

...We are a studio based in Montreal, Canada. This is the 1 place I found where I can post a review on this printer. As rated, this product has poorly designed and hence I would never recommend a xerox large format printer after having been acquainted with 2 of them. Professionals are much better off with HP that are superior and quite more reliable. Here are the flaws I have to point out: - Mechanics that renders the daily use annoying: rear load of media requires a lot more working area - type of rear load not precise since printing a 10 foot ot more banner can get skewed at the end if media is not loaded completely straght into printer. Hence a non print margin of .5 inches can narrow down to nothing from start to end of print - "on" & "off" button is ridiculously positioned next to other function buttons on main interface...

Review of Xerox 8265

Valiant Prints of Xerox

Advantages: Compact, Economical, Simple to set up and use
Disadvantages: Around £30 to replace all the ink.

...My Xerox Docuprint XJ6C was acquired a few months ago. Previously it had been plugged into my girlfriends PC but had been rarely used so we decided it’d be better used connected up to my machine. I am unsure if this model of Docuprint is still available to buy, I suspect not as this printer is 2 years old now, and was bundled free with a PC offer. For more Information visit www.xerox.co.uk which is an excellent resource, especially for the latest drivers. The printer was simple to set up on my computer and involved plugging the standard printer cable from printer to PC, and power lead. We couldn’t locate the original disk with the driver on, but as I now have Windows Me I thought it would be best to get the latest driver from Xerox. The latest driver was installed without problem and ran straight from an EXE file...

Review of Xerox DocuPrint XJ6C

  Xerox M750 built like a tank

Advantages: Cheap running costs, separate ink tanks, fairly fast.
Disadvantages: A cheap and easily broken paper out tray, some small errors from time to time.

...Xerox DocuPrint M750 After buying myself a cheap digital camera, the dinky Digital Dream Co. L?espion I needed a printer capable of transferring my pictures from my computer onto paper, better than my aging Hewlett Packard Deskjet 400 was capable of. I was very tempted by some of the cheap but fairly well reviewed Lexmark printers. One shop were able to sell them at an amazing £30, with a specification similar to some of the well known brands. I was very tempted, until I looked into the running costs of such a machine. The original Lexmark cartridges were £25.99 for a black cartridge and £27.99 for a colour cartridge. This to me seemed ridiculous, as you could buy another printer for nearly the same money! I then trusted the reliability of Hewlett Packard, as my Deskjet 400 had served me well without any problems at all...

Review of Xerox DocuPrint M750

My First Xerox.

Advantages: Separate colour reservoirs, good instructions
Disadvantages: No cables

...The Xerox m760 came with my new pc and I expected it to be tacky, cheap, and cheerful but basically not very good. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it is an excellent piece of printing machinery. Easy to setup and install, easy to use. As usual there were no cables, these have to be bought separately, but the machine can be connected to either a printer port on your pc or by USB. Drivers were already available through Windows XP so I didn't need the drivers disk supplied with the machine. This might not be the case with earlier versions of Windows so just follow the on screen instructions. This also applies to installing print cartridges. The cd contains on screen instructions which are very easy to follow, simple and clear. A child could do it. The instruction book is easy to follow and well laid out, exactly what you would...

Review of Xerox Phaser 6100BD

Microsoft, Xerox please be friends.

Advantages: Separate colour cartridges, Fast, Express Option.
Disadvantages: Incompatible Windows XP Driver.

...I purchased the Xerox M750 about in April 2002 and at the time had a personal computer running windows ME. The reason for the buy was the price (at the time £45) and the fact that it had a 1200x1200 best photo resolution. Under Windows ME I was incredibly happy with the printer the driver that comes with the printer has a preferences and status monitor that not only gives you complete control of everything from colour and contrast to page layout but also shows you the level of ink in each of the cartridges (an incredibly useful feature) which is also incredibly accurate unlike previous printers which I have used this one doesn't seem to rely on a timer for cartridge usage but actually knows how much ink is in each. I soon after upgraded my computer to windows XP and after hearing lots of scare stories about driver incompatibility...

Review of Xerox DocuPrint M750

The Xerox Machine.

Advantages: Another short story.
Disadvantages: I'm going to run out of categorys.

...I have had my go at stories with a twist in the tail, but had another idea. Since you only get one go, I have added this to everything beginning with X I haven?t a clue where this came from, it just unfolded itself. Please feel free to add constructive critiscm, I need all the help I can get. The Xerox machine squats silently in the corner of the office, a testament to many a ?butt? and ?boob? joke, that inevitably follows an office party, leaving many a red face in the morning. I?m no prude, but at fifty-six years of age, I?ve seen many an office caper end in tears. Take my boss for example; I have worked for Mr Richards since I left school early on at the start of the 2nd world war. Things were much simpler then, you had a code of ethical standards to live by. Mr Richards has lately asked me to call him Steven, but I am set in...

Xerox Docuprint C8, Dont Bother

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: quality, ink usage, speed, paper feed

...I am self employed and was looking for a cheap printer to undertake basic tasks such as printing invoices. I loooked at all the options available and decided to go for the Docuprint C8. Xerox are a good company and i thought that it would be a respectable product. How wrong could i be!! Quite simply, this is by far the worst printer i have ever come across. The print quality is awful, the ink never seems to dry, i could write the print quicker and it goes through cartridges like there is no tomorrow. On top of that, the paper feed is terrible. Most times it feeds more than 1 sheet through and more often than not you get a paper jam. Installation was ok and is connected via the parallel port. I prefer USB connection myself for easier installation and more speed. I have decided to get rid of it and will be buying an Epson printer...

Review of Xerox M940

Slight Improvement on 8400 Phaser

Advantages: does duplex
Disadvantages: not quick enough, now behind with the times

...As a have stated in my previous review, I have three colour printers at work, one super duper one, a second being relatively good and my back up plan which was my last review. The Xerox Phaser 8560 I have had for two years and decided to keep when I recently upgraded to my super duper printer that is my pride and joy when I am in creative mode at work. The Xerox Phaser 8560 replaced the 8400 a couple of years ago and we saw several improvements to the machine as you normally do, better going forwards than backwards. The Phaser 8560 is a great printer and again takes crayon as opposed to ink that give it that excellent finish when producing reletively professional documents. The sytling of the machine is very similar to that of the 8400, it is exactly the same size, and has the same control panel on the top of it which is good...
