There's a lot going for the Phaser 8560MFP-N. It produces very good colour prints, not quite up to inkjet standard when you're looking at photographic output, but better than a colour laser. Colour copies are very close to the originals they're copied from.
Running costs are really low, particularly when printing colour pages, and you even get a warm and fuzzy feeling from the eco-friendly solid ink sticks, which come with minimal packaging and no toner or drum cartridges to recycle. It's noisy while printing and the asking price is over £1,000, so it's not an impulse purchase. However, as a proofing tool in flash offices or design studios it could well prove very cost-effective and Xerox is offering £200 cashback until the end of July 2008. This seems like a very good deal to us.Read full review
