We could not get the Phaser working and despite their on-site warranty, Xerox refused to come out and assist. Hence, the Phaser was returned to the embarrassed retailer.
This turned out to be very fortunate for us as we purchased the Magicolor which is better, faster and less expensive than the Phaser. Our needs include near photo-quality graphics, good text quality and high speed. The setup was easy and the Magicolor has the best resolution/color fidelity of any laser printer we have ever owned. Unlike the Phaser, the output page/minute throughput (we didn't actually time it) seems consistent with the rated output.
We have owned the Magicolor about a month and have no complaints to date. It is heavy duty, high speed and has excellent photo quality for a laser.
|  | Reviewed on 2008-04-28      Fast, fairly economical, good quality On general principles, I hesitate giving any tech purchase a 5 star rating, but the Minolta 5570 color laser printer is close enough to desire five stars, particularly in comparison to its competition and in view of the low price sold on Amazon. Quality is quite good and per page speed, even with complex Acrobat color pages, generally is very good. High capacity toner cartridges are fairly inexpensive compared to the competition, again resulting in a low cost per page. I have used many laseer printers and this is the best that I have found so far. An duplex printing unit would be very nice but does not seem to be easily available. |  |
