November 26, 2008 – Xerox Office Group (XOG) held a briefing for industry analysts at its Wilsonville, OR, facility on November 19 to deliver a sneak preview at an all-new and groundbreaking color MFP set to debut in 2009. While details about the product (name, speed and price) won’t be shared until closer to its launch, the concept and execution certainly look intriguing—perhaps even game-changing for certain segments of the market.

The news: Xerox is readying an A3-class color MFP based on its solid-ink technology as a competitor to 11" x 17" color laser engines and HP’s Edgeline inkjet-based offerings. Pioneered by Oregon State University researchers in the 1980s and commercialized by printer maker Tektronix (Xerox acquired the color printing and imaging division of Tektronix in 2000), solid-ink engines are currently used by Xerox in some A4-class printers and MFPs such as the Phaser 8860 family (which includes the 8860 and the 8860MFP). The technology uses melted ink sticks, as opposed to toner particles or liquid ink, to render an image.

WEBSTER, N.Y., Nov. 18, 2008  -- Six 25,000 gallon tanks will find a home in Xerox Corporation's (NYSE: XRX) EA toner plant in Webster, N.Y. this week. The arrival of the tanks will herald an era of more energy efficient digital printing, preparing for the production of Ultra Low-Melt EA Toner, a breakthrough product that can cut overall power consumption of digital printing devices by as much as 15 to 30 percent.

Fusing the toner or sealing it on the page is the most power-intensive process in printers and multifunction devices, accounting for 50 percent to 80 percent of the total power used. In developing the Ultra Low-Melt EA Toner, scientists at Xerox Research Centre Canada (XRCC) aimed to save energy by lowering the fusing temperature. The new toner melts at as much as 45 degrees Fahrenheit lower temperature than the EA toner now being used in current Xerox products, without compromising image quality or any other performance.
