  Duration of ownership: 4 Months

  Strengths: Good product if you print color text only. Easily to integrate in your network with Xerox CenterWare (can be downloaded from Xerox site). Resolution can be adjusted to suit the job. Compact. Fast.

  Weaknesses:Wax cubes are very expensive. Printer will not work if wax is low. Banner and pictures waste a lot of wax. Takes too long to warm up compared to a similar color printer.

  Overall Evaluation: Bought 2 of these for my office! On paper things looked good at first, documentation said that each wax cube last for over 3000 pages, but it couldn't go over 900 without adding new wax. Wax is very expensive; $65 for box of three (same color, printer has 4 colors, including black) and these (especially yellow and magenta) go in less than 2 weeks. Printer takes too long to warm up and some people have a problem with the melting wax smell. Overall, not very happy! While I must state that except for being pricey on the wax, everyone is very happy with the printout quality - my only justification for still keeping them, i regret buying these printers. Buy one if color text and graphics is most that you print, stay clear if you print pictures or ppt files with banners and embedded pictures. No other problems

  Duration of ownership: 1 Years

  Strengths: CheapWaterproof prints.Fast Easy setup

  Weaknesses:For small to large businesses. Needs to be printed to to keep head clean, although not as much as previous generations of solid ink. Uses more hydro than lasers to keep the ink melted.

  Overall Evaluation: Your review on this printer states that it does about 10 pages per minute. That is its slowest speed. In fast colour resolution it will print a page 24 times in one minute. Tested by myself. Print speeds are rated by engine speed not how long it takes from time sent from the computer. Images and prints can be easy like text or complex images. Xerox rates it at 24 ppm. When the printer starts to print the page to the time the last page comes out. Due to your review some peaple have wanted to return the product claiming Xerox has cheated them. Maybe you should test this again properly!!!

  Strengths: Beautiful vivid text. Colors are bright and crisp.

  Weaknesses:Interacting with software. Margins

  Overall Evaluation: If you need to print close to edge of custom sized stock (not regular letter), you can't do it with this. Margins cannot be closer than .49 from edge of custom-sized paper, which is a problem with our invitation business. Photoshop files very SLOW to print - Xerox really didn't give a good explanation on this.

A modest price, bright colors, and fine text quality outweigh some negatives of the Phaser 8400N's exotic printing technology.
