Thanks Drew, I think you may have made a believer out of me.

By Solid Stick Ink, I assume you're talking about the stuff like what
the Xerox (Tektronix) Phasers use?

Link to it:

We have several Xerox 8200 DTN Phasers in the district, and I
absolutely LOVE them. After we did a price breakdown, they were cheaper
to run (over time; not initially) than any other printer we were willing
to work with. We have not had any of them break down, and they run
flawlessly - we've only had 1 jam in 1 printer in the last year of
operation (they, admittedly, aren't used extremely heavily, but they do
see print jobs every day).

The solid stick ink is also much easier to handle and install than
toner for end users to take care of... pop open the lid and drop it in.
Done!

You do need to make sure, however, if you use a Phaser, DO NOT power
cycle them - when they warm up, they melt a little bit of the ink, which
winds up in the waste bin... we had one location that had printed next
to nothing, and ran out of ink... we found it was because they had been
power cycling... that wastes the ink quickly! Just leave it on... it
will manage the heat inside inself; just trust its judgment on how it
should be running.

FWIW, I'm thinking about replacing all of our color printers, district
wide, with Phasers... they're just incredibly easy to use, I've had no
problems with them, they cost little to run, etc.

And no, I am in no way affiliated or sponsored by Xerox. I just
_really_ like their 8200 DTN Phasers.

Does anyone know the advantages of Solid Stick Ink verses toner?
