Yes, this is a repost - seems worth it.

Xerox is offering a color printer free of charge if you print between 2000-4000 pages per month routinely, and are willing to purchase supplies from freecolorpinters.com. I only briefly compared the costs of supplies, and they seem to be roughly the same from freecolorprinters.com as the rest of the market (I searched Pricegrabber.com for 'colorstix AND phaser'). Looks roughly like supplies for 2000 pages/month would cost about $200/month (not including paper) if all pages were done in color at 5% coverage.

If you drop below the amount that you say you will print, then they charge you (rental) for that month ($75). They require you to mail in a monthly usage report, else they charge you $100. That seems to be all of the catches. At the end of 3 years, its yours to keep and do with as
you please.

Your organization has to apply, and they decide if you get one.
A $3,700 laser - Hmmmm.

<< How many times has this same thing been reposted??? >>


I searched back 90 days, as far as I could go, and found only one posting. It was not well stated, so I chose not to bump it. Can we relax just a little?

Sigh. How many times have people whined about a repost, just because it was once posted 10 years ago? Oh I forgot, that's how people make senior status around here.

i am in my 2nd year of this. it works great! the only catch i had was when my maintenance kit ran out, they said i had to purchase it from them (100 bucks versus 70), but i bitched and moaned about how it wasn't explicitly stated in the contract so they gave it to me for free! they have since modified their terms.

other than that, i have nothing to complain about. it't a good deal. and the printers they're shipping now are 2x as fast as the one they shipped me (tek phaser 750).

I got one and only used it for the free black ink. So what did they do? They sent me a second one, 25% of the pages need color. This deal CANNOT be beat, if you need that kind of printer. Highly recomended and about time for a repost.

And No I do not have senior status.
