While I am a big fan of solid ink, the bit about Energy Star is misleading -- only the Phaser 8860MFP/D (S-configuration) is EnergyStar compliant; every other model isn't.

We are always improving energy efficiency in our products. In fact, all of the new ColorQube solid ink MFP models are Energy Star compliant. You're right, the desktop Phaser 8860 and Phaser 8560 families have a special configuration called the s-configuration that is Energy Star compliant. And solid ink products do come with the Intelligent Ready system that uses a patented learning technology to activate a power-saving mode based on the users schedules.

I do not like the fact that Xerox doesn't come clean with Solid Ink's disadvantages as well as the advantages. They can't expect ppl to be all dumb even though a lot are. What if I didn't use google extensivly for a number of days before I bought my printer? I would have returned it and never thought about Xerox again. However, since I did research the technology I understood that my particular use of the printer do in fact overcome these disadvantages. Come clean Xerox, and get a HD-camera.
