Solid ink printers, also sometimes called phase-change printers, have changed a great deal since they were first introduced. In the past such printers had a reputation for being somewhat slow and rather expensive. This is no longer the case, and current models of solid ink printers are much faster and less expensive than in the past. Of course, the best deals on these printers and supplies, available at the FreePrinters.com™ supply store, make them even more affordable.

Solid ink printers work differently from color laser printers or normal inkjet printers. They function by melting wax based inks and spraying them directly onto paper. The advantages of this approach are very vivid and true colors and the ability to print on nearly any surface.

Purchasing a solid ink printer is no longer an expensive proposition. At FreePrinters.com™, you can purchase the Xerox Phaser 8500N, for only $879, a full $20 less than even the manufacturer's price. An impressive resolution capability of 1200 DPI and fast printing of up to 24 pages per minute make this a versatile unit suitable for both office and home use.

Of course with all the printing you do with your solid ink printer, you will want the best possible deal on your solid ink sticks. The place for these is the supply store at FreePrinters.com™, where our wide selection of solid ink sticks are sure to meet your needs. We generally sell excellent quality Media Sciences ink sticks at discounts of 30 percent or more.
