what I don't understand is why do you need a phaser printer?

Karma and paste
The Xerox phaser printer unlike l@ser or ink-jet machines, uses blocks of solid ink to print with. The ink is softened on a heated drum before being transferred to the paper and needs no fuser nor multiple layers of print, as a colour l@ser does. This is a fast business printer suited to environments where there’s a high proportion of colour content. It’s good for colour proofing work, but also for general-purpose printing, where you would typically consider a colour l@ser, but value ease of maintenance. If the price is daunting, the Phaser 8500N, slower and without duplex, can be had for around £510.

'Selection' is much more different than the TV would have you believe, eh Karma?
"Right lads, up and down Pen Y Fan please. In 5 minutes. And when you get to the top you'll each find a broken industrial sized piece of office machinery. I want you to put your blindfolds on, strip your machine down, find and fix the fault, reassemble it and memorise the instruction manual and list price. Understood? Good, 3, 2, 1 go..."

I see Karma got his Karma and got banned 
Do the RAF really do colour proofing work ???
"fast business printer suited to environments where there’s a high proportion of colour content." Sounds like Death by Powerpoint slides to me.
Laser technology is the way to go IMHO.

total overkill
I used to use them for printing limited-run catalogues of imported garden furniture. Fine for a high-impact short-run marketing / commercial presentation publications. Anything else, total waste of money

This works out at 2p / page at £350/ea - noting you have 4 carts.
Not sure then this is a story after all. High capacity cartridges are usually better VFM overall, as you'd expect.
PS liked the "pet Sqn Ldr printing family photos" - LOL. We've all seen the type - usually muttering about waste while they're at it!

When we did a real-world calculation based on actual performance, the costs were around £0.35 / page

no, these were A4 catalogue pages with 60% white space.
I don't print Powerpoint presentations. I leave them where they belong - on the screen. If you have to print a Powerpoint session, then you have failed in your task of transferring information. Besides which, if you hand an audience a set of of Powerpoint printouts, they spend the whole time reading the printout - and NOT listening to the presenter. By all means make the presentation available online for later download, but printing them? Total incompetence: its the sign of a failed trainer or presenter

Oh dear, I thought that this was a pilot site! Got that wrong, obviously! Maybe "e-goat" would be a more appropriate site than this one, and I am ex-service and I do agree with the thread - just the wrong place! Return to pre-pilot life and get out of ground fire!!

Military Aircrew A forum for the professionals who fly the non-civilian hardware, and the backroom boys and girls without whom nothing would leave the ground. Army, Navy and Airforces of the World, all equally welcome here.
There is the clue
