    CNET Review

    November 15, 2005

    The Good: The Xerox Phaser 8500N provides fast color printing; a low-cost, low-waste solid-ink system; great software; and expandable paper handling and memory.

    The Bad: The Xerox 8500N serves up mediocre print quality.

    The Bottom Line: Color lasers offer better output quality than this solid-ink printer, but the Xerox Phaser 8500N is faster, less costly to maintain, and kinder to your energy bill.

    Review Summary: Xerox's latest generation of solid-ink printer, the Phaser 8500N, is a good fit for a small office or workgroup. Overall performance is a touch slower than for comparably priced color lasers, but that's balanced by output quality that leads the pack.
