    Phaser 8560 Ink...

    How easily it scratches off depends somewhat on the paper. Like I said we have printed many postcards that have mailed without and real problems. As long as they are kept away from pointy objects lime fingernails they do pretty well. Scuffing isn't a real problem.

    Phaser 8560 Ink...

    I think it will do fine for shipping labels but there is of course no way to guarantee it. We have actually printed postcards with complete coverage on gloss stock and mailed it. The machines did scrape off a small amount but nothing too bad. That may not sound like much of an endorsement but...

    Phaser 8560 Ink...

    Very frustrating though that they chose to do this. I would prefer the printer loader not try to second guess what I am doing. No matter what size or shape the ink I put in is it should use it. What is the advantage to me to have it reject certain sticks? Another thing about this printer that...

    Phaser 8560 Ink...

    It does emit some odor but it is harmless and I actually kind of like the smell. Nothing too noticeable unless your within a foot or two of it and it is printing. As for the durability it is pretty good but will scratch if you use something like your fingernail. Under normal use it is fine...

    Phaser 8560 Ink...

    Interesting. We have moved to the 8860 and it works great. We bought the 8860 for $1900 new. Then we traded in an old Brother multifunction printer we had and got a $500 rebate. Then finally sold our 8560 for $800. After rebate the 8560 was $750 and after rebates the 8860 was $1400. The 8860 is...

    Phaser 8560 Ink...

    I don't see how the printer could tell the difference. Isn't it simply applying heat to the sticks and melting them? What your saying is exactly right but I don't see why. If the ink is the same shape how can the ink loader throw fits? When it was giving me problems I checked and the ink was up...

    Phaser 8560 Ink...

    I tried melting some 8860 ink and it ran fine for a little while but then I started having it overflowing ink out the bottom and wouldn't stop melting the ink. Very strange considering it is supposed to be the same ink and print head. I found a new 8860 for $1400 after rebate so I bought one of...

    Phaser 8560 Ink...

    No I haven't tried any yet. I ended up waiting until this morning to get the ink I needed. I am really tempted to try the 8860 ink because it is so much cheaper. Keith

    Phaser 8560 Ink...

    We bought the Phaser 8560 printer the other day and need ink to run a project over the weekend. Oddly enough no one I have called seems to carry ink and I don't have time to order it. I live in the Kansas City area and did find one place that had solid ink for the 8860 and I am wondering if I...
