Xerox DocuColor 260 Toner Cartridges

Xerox 260 Printer Review

Offices that are constantly busy and have high-volume printing, scanning, and copying needs should take a close look at the Xerox DocuColor 260. Though there are many big office all-in-one machines on the market, few are as modular and affordable as this one. The 260 prints quickly and with professional quality, both of which are important features of any equipment in the workplace.

The speed of this laser unit is beyond impressive, producing black-and-white documents at 75 pages per minute, which is less than a second per printed page. Pages that are printed with multiple colors of Xerox 260 toner are generated at a rate of 60 pages per minute. When a job is sent to the 260, the first page will begin printing in about 11 seconds for color and 4 seconds for black-and-white documents. If the device is in sleep mode, it will take 150 seconds to warm up, but only about 30 seconds from power saving mode.

The black Xerox 260 toner cartridge can yield up to 30,000 pages, while the color toners can yield as many as 34,000 pages. With a fairly high upfront price, having such high-capacity DocuColor 260 toner cartridges minimizes the cost per printed page. To monitor the remaining level of Xerox 260 toner, users can check the settings on the large LCD display and control panel. This innovative feature also allows users to easily navigate the system, change print modes, and even edit images directly.

The modular design of the 260 ensures that there are a number of external features that can be added if needed. For instance, the 260 supports three finishing packages, listed in order from the most complex to most basic – professional finish, advanced finish, and light-production finish. Other optional features center on the paper capacity. On the base model, there is a 250-sheet bypass tray and two 500-sheet input trays, as well as 870-sheet and 1,140-sheet drawers. Two more 2,000-sheet trays can be added.

This color laser printer is good for printing text documents and full-color images. The 4-color Xerox 260 printer toner system creates a wide color gamut, and the enhancing software ensures crisp lines and true-to-life colors. The maximum resolution that can be reached is 2400x2400 dpi when printing and 600x600 dpi when scanning.

Clearly, this high-capacity machine is designed for busy work environments. It offers a number of built-in features that will increase production while maintaining a high-level of quality. The high-yield of the DocuColor 260 printer toner keeps the overall cost affordable, and its versatile feature set makes the 260 a one-stop shop for most tasks.
