1. Comment - Xerox rolls out pioneering ColorQube printer with crayon-like ink

   (May 9, 2009 - 4:42 PM)

   DeadFly, I've seen lots of comments like yours around articles about the ColorQube, however to draw a similar analogy, early petrol cars were unreliable and broke down lots, weren't very efficient and had a high cost of ownership, yet I bet you drive one yourself now after years of development. It's the same with anything in the technology sector and hence this being a big evolution of the solid ink technology also see's a large jump in reliability and massively reduce the cost of colour prints. Reliability of the beta test was very good, but I can't give out actual figures.

   Quick correction "The printers contains 3,000 print heads apiece, with 900 ink nozzles each." should read "The printers contains 4 print heads apiece, with 900 ink nozzles each."
   
   As stated this is not new technology, however it is the first time it has been used on A3 (or A4 LEF) sheets and is an upward scaling of the technology both in terms of print area, resolution, speed and reliability. The new machines fit in a completely different market segment to the smaller A4/8.5x11 printers and MFPs and as such require much higher levels of reliability.
