User Reviews for Xerox Phaser 6180/N

  • Reviewed by: lrushforth

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Warms up quickly, print quality is outstanding

    Weaknesses: Tray for envelopes and odd-size papers does not work well. The toner is very expensive, and the printer is exceptionally large and heavy.

    Overall Evaluation: For an office printer, this is a very efficient printer and a good value. While not a true photo printer, the photos and graphics in memos and brochures look great. Because of its size and weight, it requires a sturdy table or desk, but it has been a dependable printer. Our office is purchasing another one. The weight, size, and expense of toner are the factors that disqualify the printer from a 5-star rating.
