Are you serious? Do you actually work with solid ink printers?
The color is outstanding, with better saturation than you'd ever see on a laser, much less a cheap inkjet. Plus these things will print on anything -- overheads, card stock, whatever. No paper jams, misfeeds, and timing errors like lasers.
I haven't tried this model, but as a semi-professional photographer, you won't get better print quality than a Phaser (ColorQube now, I guess) without a full-blown lab printer.
Seriously? Have you seen the quality of a wax print from a Phaser Wax? Its crap! I work with Laser printers/MFP's, Inkjet and wax printers daily. Sure, wax can reduce how much it costs to produce a color copy of your fanny, but it will still look like (your) ...!
This isn't new technology. Xerox bought Tektronix's printer division in 2000. At the time Tektronix was making solid ink color printers that used colored wax blocks.
At the time Tektronix's wax printers were quite nice. The wax blended making the color smooth and the prints very nice compared to laser and inkjet technology of the time. If I remember correctly, the gamut range of the printers was far beyond what laser and inkjets could achieve.
Hi,
I've seen this one live and it is very good for office. This is not a production machine where you sell the output to your customers but for internal, short lived document needing color, this is really good.
The Xerox Phaser is a colour printer that uses blocks of wax instead of ink or toner. They've been around since the mid-80s, but have only recently become affordable for the SME market.

How appropriate, as most corporate communications read as though written by primary school children.

Just my two cents.
