Xerox’s new ColorQube printer promises to revolutionize color-printing using a wax ink. The ink can reduce the cost per page by as much as 62%. This new ink doesn’t sacrifice any printer functions either. Like other multi-function printers, the ColorQube can print, copy, scan and fax and be networked by several people.

So how does it work? The ink is melted and sprayed onto a spinning drum which deposits it on the page. Don’t get too excited. The machine costs $20,000. But as the technology progresses it will get cheaper over time. And even at that price huge companies could see a long term savings in cost.

Xerox has in its product line up today a new desktop document scanner which can scan up to 50 images per minute. It is called the Xerox DocuMate 162 and it runs around $695 .

The Xerox DocuMate 162 comes with a 50-page automatic document feeder and is designed to handle most kinds of documents. It includes a one-touch button so you can scan to the “destination” you so desire, be it to email, the hard drive or another application.

Xerox today rolled out a low end USB flatbed scanner for photo enthusiasts. It is called the Xerox 7600 and it prices for around $100.

The Xerox 7600 is capable of scanning up to 1200 x 1200 dpi in 48-bit color. It has one-touch scanning technology and includes front buttons to scan, copy, OCR, email and custom. These buttons are pre-configured to more effectively do their specific tasks.

Remember the old Mission Impossible, when “this message” would self destruct in 24 hours. It is now a reality at least in paper form, thanks to Xerox. They’ve come up with self-erasing paper that can be used over and over again. Of course that’s great for trees and our environment in general. It’s also great for spys and paranoid types. The paper is not erasable, but self-erasing, leaving you with a completely blank sheet of paper after 24 hours that you can reuse up to 100 times.

The paper contains specially coded molecules that create a print after being exposed to ultraviolet light emitted from a thin bar in a printer. The molecule actually readjusts itself within 24 hours to its original form to delete the print, or applying heat can readjust the molecule instantly. Pretty nifty.

Xerox said today it is bringing to market its lowest price color laser printer to date. It is called the Xerox Phaser 6125 and pricing is set at around $350.
