Xerox Phaser 7750

Not so long ago color laser printers were restricted to the manager’s office or to marketing. They were simply too expensive to have too many of them, and too slow to be efficient in a busy office. Not only were the printers themselves expensive, the toners could be extortionate. Xerox changed all that, and with the Xerox Phaser 7750, they continue the trend of bringing great quality color laser printing to the masses.

The advent of the single pass laser is what turned things around for laser printers. Once resigned to a pitiful 5 or 6 pages per minute, they can now enjoy performance on par with monochrome. The Phaser 7750 can output at a rate of 35 pages per minute, which is more than acceptable for a device of this caliber.

The prints were of a high quality until you get to print text at low points. 3 and 4 pt text became a little fuzzy, but overall the text quality is of a high standard. Image reproduction was a surprise though. Images were never the strong suit of a laser printer, yet the Phaser 7750 outputs some great quality photos with real depth to their color. There were no artifacts, or criss-crosses like you see with many other lasers.

There are four versions on the Phaser 7750. The base model 7750B, the 7750DN with a network card, automatic duplexing, hard disk and extra ram, the 7750GX which adds even more ram and a 1500 sheet paper drawer, and the 7750DXF which adds a finisher and a bigger paper drawer to take the total to 3150 sheets.
Setting the 7750 up was as easy as unpacking it and connecting it up. Once powered the networked versions were automatically configured on the network and were configured in minutes. The Xerox remote management package, CentreWare is a pleasure to work with and had everything up and running within 20 minutes.

Starter toners are included which are good for a couple of thousand sheets each. Replacements are easy to acquire and reasonable considering they are Xerox. A black toner will last for 32000 pages, and the color ones 22000.

We would have no hesitation recommending the Phaser 7750 to any office, even ones were graphic designers need to print. It is easily competent enough to handle even the most complex of designs and print it accurately.

With a high duty cycle, large paper capacity and long lasting toners it would also be equally at home is a busy office. Anybody looking for an affordable printer/copier with lower than usual running costs and professional quality finishing should look no further than the Phaser 7750.
