If you have about $2300 and your business prints a lot in color, then the Xerox Phaser 8860 solid ink printer is for you.  Any smart business owner knows that one of the things that need to be controlled in a business is the operating costs.  With the Xerox 8860 Phaser, the color ink costs about 3 cents a page and the black about 1.5 cents.

Ink sticks are a non-toxic resin-based color wax block, similar to a crayon.  The ink will not stain your clothes or your skin unlike toner and inkjet cartridges.  In addition, it is environmentally friendly by having no waste or plastic toner cartridges to dispose of while taking up only about ¼ of the space in your office supplies storage area than a box of toner.  Ink is instantly fused onto the paper using heat and pressure, which is why solid ink produces such great image quality on any kind of media. Toner and inkjet ink soak into the paper, so the image is dependent upon the type of paper used.

The 8860’s rated print speed is 30 pages per minute (ppm) for both monochrome and color at its top speed, and 16 ppm for both in default (enhanced) mode. It is equipped with a standard 525-sheet drawer, a 100-sheet multipurpose tray, and a duplexer. As an option, for $400 each, you can also add two more 525-sheet drawers raising the maximum paper capacity to 1,675 pages.  If you are having problems with this printer and need a Xerox Phaser 8860 service manual, you can upload it here.
