Xerox Phaser 6010 Toner Cartridges

Xerox 6010 Printer Review

The Xerox Phaser 6010 is a color laser printer that benefits from a small footprint and a compact desktop design. The 6010n model is a slightly more expensive alternative with the addition of an ethernet connection for networking. The 6010's maximum speeds of 12 pages per minute for color projects and 15 pages per minute for monochrome aren't the quickest, but are fairly average compared to units in the same class. With its limited speeds and reviews that indicate pricey Xerox 6010 printer toner replacements, the unit is best fit for small or home office use.

The unit's easy-to-use status LCD makes it simple for novices, and digital color management technology will provide users with straightforward and high-quality output. Color documents appear smooth and natural and text prints with sharp character detail. The machine can create projects with a maximum resolution of 1200x2400 dpi using color Phaser 6010 toner.

A size of 12x16x11 inches and weight of 23 pounds make it a very lightweight and compact machine. Its minimal media handling helps contribute to the small size and footprint, with a 150-sheet input tray and 10-page bypass tray. Trays are pretty flexible and can support media with a minimum size of 3x5 inches and maximum of 8.5x14 inches. With its total media capacity and ability to produce a maximum of 30,000 pages per month, the device is designed to produce fairly low volumes in an office.

The manufacturer provides cyan, magenta, yellow and black starter Xerox 6010 toner cartridges with a capacity of 500 pages each. Expert tests note that the pricey 1,000-page color replacement toners can run up the cost to print graphics and photos. The black replacement Xerox 6010 toner cartridge has a capacity of 2,000 sheets, and is a better value.

Despite the setback of expensive color Phaser 6010 toner, there seem to be ample reasons for small or home offices to benefit from the 6010. From simplicity of use to its consistent output quality, this laser printer is worth consideration for users who don't do a lot of color printing.
