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 innova-
tions. 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 small-
business-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-workteam-
class 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, accu-
rate 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.

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 qual-
ity 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 select-
ing, specifying, matching and controlling
ink colors. Xerox Phaser and WorkCentre
printers and multifunction printers with
PANTONE Color calibrated solid-color simula-
tions 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.
