Excellent but large printer,

This review is from: Xerox Phaser 6180/N Color Laser Printer (Office Product)
For an office color laser printer, the Xerox 6180N is an excellent value. It warms up relatively quickly, prints quickly, and the print quality is excellent. Although this is not really a photo printer, the photos in my memos and brochures are just what I wanted. The two factors that preclude a 5-star rating: (a) the toner is expensive and (b) the printer is exceptionally large and heavy.

We have a small accounting firm that's an all-Mac shop. We only use Xerox for our printing needs because of the quality, speed, reliability, and features. True PostScript printing, easy networking of printer, quality drivers, and excellent print quality are hallmarks of Xerox.
We've tortured Xerox B&W laser printers for years and they keep printing with very few paper jams. The 6180N color laser will get a bit less use but so far over thousands of print jobs, we have had zero issues and have been impressed at the quality of photo & text output, absence of banding and registration errors, and the volume of output from the toner cartridges.
The one minor niggle is the tendency of laser printers in general to wrinkle the corners of envelopes when printed from Muti-Purpose trays. Higher quality paper reduces the problem.
TIP: Ignore the printer's low toner warning. You can eke out several hundred more pages, depending on coverage.

Seems to be well-built, and if the yield ratings can be believed, the toner costs are in line with other makes, and better than the smaller model. The cost of the toner cartridges is breathtaking, but you have to divide the price by the rated yields to make cost comparisons with other printers. The vendors seem to be using the same ISO/IEC 19798 standard to rate yields objectively. Your mileage may vary. Remember that printer vendors are practically giving these things away, probably well below the real costs, to sell toner cartridges.
It's not going to give you glossy photo-quality prints, and you shouldn't expect that from any of today's laser printers, but the color is just fine for most applications. I've given up on inkjets because of the ink costs and I printed so seldom that the jets would dry up and clog from disuse, so I just go down somewhere to have photos printed when I want a photo-quality print.
Any printer, especially color PostScript...Read more
