Evaluating Output Quality Take a look at available color tools and technologies to improve your output. When evaluating the output quality delivered by the small-business-class color printers and multifunction printers, first determine the types of documents you most frequently produce. Do you need color output for simple, non business-critical documents, or is your goal to produce color business collaterals in-house, such as pamphlets, newsletters and flyers? Xerox® leads the color printing industry, delivering unrivaled print quality through more than 20 years of technology innovations. Xerox Phaser and WorkCentre color printers and multifunction printers provide all the benefits of black-and-white performance, plus the competitive advantage of color when your work demands it. The following describes the print-quality attributes and features of the Xerox smallbusiness-class of Phaser® and WorkCentre® printers and multifunction printers. Xerox built-in color technologies Xerox EA toner Award-winning, Xerox-exclusive EA toner, chemically grown to produce the market's smallest, most uniformly shaped particles, delivers sharper clarity, excellent shadowing and outstanding fine-line detail. It's the same toner used by our high-end, large-workteamclass color printers and multifunction devices. Automatic color correction The automatic color correction technology selects the best color settings based on the print job's content to ensure beautiful, accurate color with every print. Color adjustment and calibration tools Xerox Phaser and WorkCentre print drivers feature intuitive controls for adjusting and calibrating color output, giving you greater control over the appearance of your color print jobs. Industry-standard color specifications / tools Resolution Print resolution capability is typically measured in dots per inch (dpi). However, a laser "dot" can behave differently depending on the printer. For example, the Phaser 6500, Phaser 6600 and WorkCentre 6605 (all covered in this guide) deliver up to 600 x 600 x 4 dpi, which produces an amazing 16 shades of color per pixel. Such print quality is often perceived as being equal to or superior to many 1200 x 1200 dpi devices. Other factors contribute to print quality, as well, including the presence or absence of the features that follow. PANTONE® Color The PANTONE Matching System is the definitive international reference for selecting, specifying, matching and controlling ink colors. Xerox Phaser and WorkCentre printers and multifunction printers with PANTONE Color calibrated solid-color simulations enable output to closely approximate predefined colors in a Pantone color table. This ensures that printed colors consistently match your intended output, which is critical when printing important documents such as letterhead with color company logos. Adobe® PostScript® 3™ PostScript is a page description language that acts as an interpreter inside the printer or multifunction printer. With true Adobe® PostScript® 3™ print language, your documents are printed with the utmost brightness and the truest possible colors and graphics. 8 Xerox Phaser and WorkCentre Small-Business-Class Color Printers and Multifunction Printers Evaluator Guide
