FREE Color Printer....risk free offer

[PhiPsi]

Now this is my 1st post everyone so be easy.....In this offer you are to receive a free color printer from this company with the only "catch" I see is that you have to agree to buy all your supplies from them.

This may not be of interest to all but probably to some.

Urrr...your link is running through hotmail somehow.
EDIT:
The actual link is something like this http://Xerox.ym0.net/re3.asp?C=34660&P=111531&E=506972986
which I'm pretty sure is a refferal redirect and you end up here http://www.freecolorprinters.com/

Did you get this offer in a spam email or something?

Catch


<< Looking for a way to help your bottom line? Look no further. Xerox has already provided free network color printers to Fortune 500 companies, small businesses, non-profits, schools, and government agencies.

To qualify, your organization needs to be U.S. based. All companies or organizations must have more than one employee and must be able to use a credit card for supplies purchases. In addition, we are looking for customers with a growing need for color printing (approximately 2000-4000 pages per month).

Once you qualify, the printer is shipped to your location free of charge. After 3 years as a FreeColorPrinters participant, the printer is yours to keep without further obligation. If you decide the program isn't a good fit within your organization before this period is up, you can return the printer with no strings attached.

Xerox only asks a few things of you. A monthly print usage report is required in order to ensure everyone involved is fully benefiting from the program; creating this report can be as easy as pushing a few buttons on the printer. We ask you to produce at least as many pages per month as you specified in your original program application. A $75 fee results when you fall below your specified usage rate. A $100 fee results if you don't turn in usage reports. You are also required to purchase all ink and maintenance supplies for your free printer through the FreeColorPrinters.com website. You'll find ordering very easy and convenient.

The printer at the heart of this program is special for two reasons.
One, it's a Xerox. Two, it comes with extra options adding more value to an already incredible program. These include a high capacity paper tray, a 3 year warranty, free black ink for the life of the printer and free customer support available 24 hours a day.

There it is, the fine print. As you can see, this program is a win-win proposition for everyone involved. You get a free, high-performance color printer. We believe you'll help us spread the word about this terrific new product line as soon as you start using it.

This is probably an OK deal if you run a small business (at least 2 people per the rules) with a need for high quality color printing. One way to meet the requirement is to donate production of a couple flyers for a charity throughout the year (20,000 total @ 6.3 cents each = $1260), which is also a nice tax write-off.

Ink cost is reasonable, considering ink jets cost about the same (or more) per copy, but it's up to 1200 DPI.

If you do this, be sure and get the Phaser 860 model: Review. It's a $2000 printer, so if you can make the economics work, it's probably a good deal.

By the way, don't be too impressed with the "Free Black Ink" offer. Anyone with a 850 or 860 printer can get it free: Info.
