Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have had a Xerox 8560DN printer now for several years. This printer has only 1 Xerox Starter set used and the rest have been Compatible ink. Here is what I have found out in several years of research, information from a retired Xerox engineer who started selling compatible ink (Ink Warehouse [...] has recently gone out of business...) said this printer is very sensitive to ink density quality not color comparison.
First realize that anyone can produce a bad batch and this includes Xerox. Second if you have a bad batch the print quality will slowly diminish after use of several blocks or boxes of the color until the jet(s) stop up. This brings up the most important point, who will pay to fix my print head? It is real nice that the supplier of the ink will exchange the bad batch. I will not buy from any supplier that will not fix my machine if there ink stops up my print head.
I have found so far 4 actual manufactures of this ink, there could be more.
[...] - 3 blocks to a package - made in USA - very expensive
I would assume Xerox would repair your printer if damage was caused by their ink.
[...] - 3 blocks to a package Media Sciences brand - made in USA - I have never used this brand but told quality is good as Xerox. Much cheaper than Xerox.
Media Sciences, Inc. warrants that its solid ink sticks and color toner cartridges are suitable for use in the intended models of printers and are free of defects that could cause damage to these printers. Should it be shown that a printer is damaged owing to the use of Media Sciences products, Media Sciences will pay reasonable and customary charges for the repair, or provide an equivalent new or refurbished printer.
[...] - 4 blocks to a package Artisan brand - made in South Korea - Quality is very good and cost less than MediaSciences. The manufacture has a US Factory Xerox Certified Service Representative and has a free priority head cleaning kit if print head stops up from bad batch. A bad batch has happen to me once over a year ago and the factory sent me the cleaning kit next day air, took 4 hours to fix printer, they stand behind their warranty. I am told Xerox has to replace the print head assembly they don't have a cleaning kit.
Ink Technologies offers a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee on all of our compatible ink and toner products. Should it be shown that a printer is damaged due to the use of Artisan Solid Ink Sticks, we will pay reasonable and customary charges for the repair of the printer.
[...] - 4 blocks to a package LD brand - made in China [...] said - least expensive, of the ink.
They have a satisfaction warranty to exchange the bad ink but they told me on a phone call would not repair damage to printer if it ever happened. I have not tried their ink because of their lack of repair warranty so don't know about quality. You can see in the picture the Yellow is not as dark as [...] Artisan brand. So everyone send them an email about lack of repair warranty.
As far as shape goes Xerox has a copyright on the shape of the ink so all the other brands must be at least 10% different. The amount of ink in each stick should be about the same. Cost on a stick of ink should be around $9.00 or less based on 2009 oil prices. Due to how sensitive the density quality on this ink has to be the reported smearing must be a calibration issue. If you took Xerox 8550 ink, melt it and pour it in 8560 molds if will stop up the 8560 print head.
These printer are not throw-away machines so make sure you have in writing from the supplier they will fix your machine before using their products.
