Customer Reviews:

Would never ever recommend this printer.......2006-07-30

The cleaning cycle on this machine scrapes off piles of melted ink everytime the machine is rebooted. Xerox advises you to keep the machine on all the time. That helps only if you don't have power outages or other problems that require you to reboot the printer.
Since last year... and I've measured the weight of the waste on a postal scale... I've discarded the equivalent of 8 blocks of ink at about $30 each. Considering I've purchased and loaded 64 blocks of ink since August, that's a considerable loss.

In addition, color is very important to my work as I'm a graphic designer who does short runs for my clients. The color color has become faded over time, especially the blues.

Also, if you print on coated photo paper, the color peels off.

Living with an 8400.......2005-07-23

Everyone else has already covered the basics, and I shall not further beat the horse to glue. Here are the realities to happy 8400 ownership, and ignore them at your own peril :

1. Use the highest quality paper you can get. High quality is defined as at least 24 lb. paper, at least 94 briteness. Yes, the 8400 makes any crappy piece of paper look good, but you have a fantastic COLOR printer, so go the very little extra and get the paper to really make the color shine.

2. Never EVER shut the power off. The dirty little secret of the 8400 is how much ink it will suck down if you try to save on electricity and power it down overnight. Wrong move. It will eat ink like there is no tomorrow if you do. Preferably, set the 8400 for the longest sleep setting there is - 240 minutes. Once you plug it in and configure it, then leave it alone.

3. Most of the time the lower (or even lowest!) quality settings will MORE than suffice, and save you a bundle on ink. Did I say run it there all the time? No. Use the print settings in whatever program you are using to ramp up the quality if you need eye-popping color. Most of the time, however, you and your wallet will be more than pleased with the 8400 parked in the lower settings.

That's about it.

This is a fantastic printer for the money. Feed the 8400 great paper, keep it turned on, and take advantage of the lower quality settings and it should be a stellar performer for any SO/HO.

Good start, bad finish.......2005-04-22

At the very beginning it was really a nice surprise.
Experience of glossy color on a plain paper is really nice.
But in half of a year colors all of a sudden distorted.
Xerox help line did not help. And Xerox insisted
that this is our applications problem. But all applications
are the same and same pictures are printed differently.
Xerox did not find enough arguments to replace printer.
In four month new surprise. Paper started to glue to
the drum, make smears and it is done. Simply after 35000
copies what is a half of Minolta 5430 month resource.
Service center where it suppose to be repaired stated
that they don't have new drum.
Happily it is fixed. But still eats our pokets (about $800 per month for ink).

Love the Xerox 8400N!.......2005-02-20

Maybe I'm a printer-holic: I have an Epson Photo R200 for photos. I have a Primera Signature Z6 for CDs (fantastic printer, by the way). But I needed a fast, reliable printer for handouts and training materials. I work in Illustrator and InDesign, and PostScript Level 3 was critical. This printer is genuine Adobe PostScript (not "PretendScript" like other printers), and it shows. But, beyond that, the entire experience is superior: the manufacturing standards are splendid (great fit and finish!), and the set-up guide is perfect--you can't go wrong. The little ink sticks are shape-coated so that even a trained squirrel could load them. The "walk-up installation" that finds Windows boxes and says "hello" automatically is wonderful. It's speedy, sharp and chock full of great features I didn't know I'd love. I highly recommend this printer!

Professional print quality at a fraction of the cost.......2004-12-12

This machine was just installed in my office, and it's like a dream come true. The quality of the "solid ink" (really, a colored wax block) on regular paper is something comparable to the pages you'd find in professional, high-gloss magazines. The wax actually melts onto the paper, creating photo-print quality output. We have only used the regular stock paper, so I do not know what the output is like on cardstock or any of the glossier types of material.

I work for academic support, needing to print out flyers, brochures, invitations, as well as quality check graphics being submitted for publication in textbooks or syllabi. Before this printer, we ended up outsourcing print jobs to another departments and vendors. We had a color inkjet that would run out of ink and streak after very few printings. The Phaser replaced that machine. There is no comparing the output of the old printer to this new one. The Phaser just blows any other color printer in this price range out of the water.

One drawback, however, is that the Phaser does require a 15 minute "warm-up" period before you can start printing, in order to melt the wax. This is the reason for four stars instead of five. If your machine goes into sleep mode, you will have to warm up the wax again even if you just did a print job. The smell of the wax can also be a little stuffy, if you are in a small office like I am. If you are just printing black & white text w/ no graphics you may want to have a separate laser or even inkjet to do that job. However, for high-quality graphics like pics, slides, artwork, and such, the output of the Phaser is well worth the wait.

I am also an art/graphic design student on the side, an am seriously considering purchasing a Phaser for personal use at home, based on its perfomance on the job. It outputs magazine quality color prints on regular paper, and with all those saved trips to Kinkos in the middle of the night for this type of print to submit for class, not to mention the money to be saved from such adventures, the Phaser looks to be worth every penny.

Worked great for almost 1 year. Now I have to wiggle the plug and pull it in and out until I get just the right spot to hear anything. They are cheap enough that one year might be enough, but I was expecting a longer life.

Great headset........2003-09-08

I had been looking for a headset with a long cord. This one worked out perfectly, and the volume control right on the headset made it so much more convenient.

Product Description

The OMNI S10 is probably the most versatile subwoofer in Mirage Loudspeakers' OMNI Subwoofer line-up. It features a 10-inch woofer with Mirage's patented ribbed Elliptical Surround. This revolutionary technology was developed to increase excursion, eliminate surround distortion and raise efficiency. Coupled with the proprietary surround ribs that eliminate any surround dimpling, it enables the OMNI S10 to play lower with greater output and fidelity than the competition. The 10-inch woofer performs like a much larger driver; it plays down to a stunning 21Hz without compromising any of its amazing musicality.The heart of the OMNI S10 is a completely newly developed amplifier that can produce an instantaneous peak of 800 watts and 200 watts of continuous power. The power output has received true FTC rating. While other manufacturers also advertize FTC ratings, they are often only achieved using loopholes in the FTC standard. Mirage proudly guarantees true FTC rated power for all playable frequencies at all volume levels.Features common to the OMNI series include: level, frequency and phase controls, all of which are found on the front panel of the subwoofer making any adjustments simple. Rear inputs include high and low level (including LFE) connections, as well as power mode selection, thereby increasing the installation and connection flexibility of the OMNI Subwoofer.r.

don't do it!.......2007-05-08

JVCs are great if you don't need any accessories or never need customer service. if you do you are in trouble. I bought a JVC video recorder last year and despite it being new it came without most of the accessories offered with it--things you'll probably need such as the cable to connect it to the TV and the one to connect it to the computer. I had to buy each of these for $40 each--they would not ship them, and also had to buy the software that was supposed to come with the camera. after all that, the leads broke and the camera started eating tape. the customer service was useless and I finally just threw it out. I had owned this JVC product for less than a year and will never buy another one.

not bad.......2007-04-11

camcorder works as expected, nothing too wonderful but is what I wanted. the still pics are a little fuzzy, but it the rest of the features are easy to use. I use it for track and field filming. I have many different kids use it with little trouble.

Lens Cap.......2007-03-03

Junk. You will get a lens cap error in about a year or so, where it will tell you lens cap is on and you will not be able to record anymore.

Broken.......2006-12-30

I thought my JVC Digital Camera was handy, easy to use and worked pretty well for what it was... then one day at my daughter's ballet show, I turned it on (I made sure I charged it all night) and it wouldn't record. It kept saying that the lens cap was on. I am so frustrated and sad. I spent a good chunk of money on this item and don't know what happened... still don't have a way of recording my daughter's milestones....

Don't buy it, if you have other options.

Excellent.......2006-11-17

This is a cute little perfect camera. Other than the fact that the CCD Base Assembly needed replacement after a few months (generating a LENS CAP ON error even though it's not in place), it has always been an excellent camera. As far as the CCD, just call the 800 number mentioned above, give them your serial number and other pertinent info and you're set. I live near the factory in Cypress and I had camera back in one week! That's service! And it was free!

Quite big size and in one of my laptop it doesn't fit as the USA slot position was quite awkward. But other than that, the product works well.

This product was my first experience with the flash drive, and I thought it was quite easy to use and holds a lot! Make sure you put the lanyard on, I actually lost my first one because I didn't have it on :(

Works great with Windows 98 or XP.......2005-01-19

I bought this drive because it's one of the few that has a Windows 98 driver, and I need to use it with my old Windows 98 as well as my new XP machine. After downloading the driver from the Simple Tech website, at
http://www.simpletech.com/support/drivers/flash/Bonzai_Xpress.exe I plugged in the drive and it worked fine. It also works without a driver on XP, despite what one bogus review here indicates.

Need Driver For XP.......2004-10-31

It is not plug and play type of flash cards. It require installation of the driver which is available at Simpltech web site. The idea of flash cars is not to require installation however this is a major disadvantage. I would go with scandisk products next time.

I've had this Simple Tech flash drive unit for about four months, and much prefer it over a flimsy competitor I also use to back up files.

This is sturdy, durable and of very good quality.

I just bought another one -- this time from Amazon -- for about $25 less than I paid for my first one in a national store. I'm thrilled!
