Xerox Phaser 6130/N

 

When I unpacked the Xerox Phaser 6130/N ($450 street), my first reaction was that it looked like a shrunken-down version of other Phaser models. It seemed a lightweight, compact solution for anyone needing a color laser for a small office, home office,...

High-quality output, particularly for text. Small. Lightweight. Network-ready

Slow. Limited paper handling. Effective monochrome speed is below the rated speed

The Xerox Phaser 6130/N's small size and light weight make it a good choice for a small-office or home-office network color laser.

Review: Xerox Phaser 6130 color laser printer

 

Though the Phaser 6130 is inexpensive, there are better options in the same price range. For $50 more, you can buy Brother's HL-4070CDW, a much faster, higher quality color laser printer that includes wireless networking and duplexing.

Setting up the color laser is simple. Weighing 37 pounds and measuring about 15 inches deep, the Phaser 6130 is relatively small compared to many laser printers; you should be able to set up this device safely without assistance. Once you lock the...

Xerox Phaser 6130 Review

 

We've remarked more than once that hardware shoppers can often get good values by buying last year's model instead of a new, mildly freshened version of a product, because the manufacturer is sure to have lowered the older version's price to make room...

The Phaser 6130 marks a pleasing step closer to the day when color laser printers are compact enough to stash anywhere or even to move from desk to desk within an office. Its paper tray may need refilling a little frequently for our liking, but its...

Best Printer I've Ever Owned

 

Best Printer I've Ever Owned

I paid $1400 for my first laser printer and it wasn't even color. Now, for a third of the cost, you can get a wonderful color printer. The quality is equivalent to that of the seriously expensive color printer I use at work (where refill cartridges...

Good quality printouts, works with Mac and PC over Network

 

The quality of this printer is very good. The feature that I wanted and like is the fact that this is a network printer. I have both, a Mac and a PC and it works with both without a problem. The Mac was able to discover the printer without any help....

Great Printer but......

This is a very nice printer for a small office or home. Laser printers such as this cost less per page than ink jet printers especially some ink jet printers that consumer a lot of inkjet when turned on. Ink jets also can dry out. Two downsides: 1)...

Like it - You should buy it!

I like this product. It was easy to set up. I took it out of the box and plugged my powerbook g4 into it and it worked perfectly. I had hoped the color would be sharper but for low level presentations, this type of printer is more than sufficient. If I...
