LASplash.com: Hardware Reviews and News Xerox Phaser 6130 Review - My All In One By Staff Editor
I own both a MAC and a PC and can use this printer with both of them. The Phaser's use of Apple Bonjour™ and print drivers for both Macs and PCs allow me to easily print in a mixed environment. The printing time is speedy and the results are a crisp, clean, and clear image. Xerox advertises vibrant images and true-to-life colors with 600 x 600 x 4 dpi. Due to the Phaser 6130 Emulsion Aggregation (EA) High Grade toner more detail and clarity is available with every image. I agree with these statements as the quality and color are right on.
I had the opportunity to speak with the engineer that designed the product but I didn’t have any questions because the instructions were so simple and well written. I had the Phaser up and printing in no time. The front panel is very user friendly and enables the user to quickly see an overview of the printer's features, settings and current toner levels. In fact, if a cartridge needs replacing you are in for a treat: Xerox's Ultra-slim toner cartridges have made replacement easy and effortless. They are easy to load and take up less storage space. All I do is place the cartridges into racks located behind a side panel. I've had other printers that I felt a tech should have come out to change the toner, but with the Phaser 6130, replacement problems are a thing of the past. At only $399 this printer is well worth the money.
