For all the benefits of the Phaser solid ink information technology in use for many printers, there are a few problems. This is not unusual – any printer has it’s negative points, and it’s important to know what those are before you invest in an expensive technology for your office. Keep these in mind when deciding if you should buy an ink stick printer.
One of the downsides of the Phaser solid ink printer is the print durability. While the prints from these ink stick printers will stand up to light penetration and friction, they can easily scrape off with a fingernail or small file. A change in the printer setting will help keep the ink thickness low, and therefore less scrapeable, it’s still a point to consider when deciding on making a printer purchase.
Since the Phaser solid ink uses heat and pressure to get the ink on the page, it takes a lot of heat, and therefore energy, to get the ink on the page. Keeping the printer in standby mode is a great way to reduce the warm-up time, but it means that it will be using about 50 watts of energy in this mode, according to the manual.
These printers also use a lot of ink. Since the ink must be warm in order to be used on the page, the ink heads must be kept hot. When the ink heads get cool after being turned off or in standby mode, the excess ink is purged upon startup in order to get consistent results on the page. This ink is put in a waste tray and cannot be reused. This means some of the ink goes straight into the garbage, and it’s hard to control that problem on the consumer end.
