Fuji-Xerox Docuprint C1618
The Fuji-Xerox is a high-speed, high- quality colour laser printer. This printer uses a micro-tandem engine that enables the printer to transfer CMYK colours in a single pass rather than in four separate passes, which means this printer can achieve higher print speeds. The Fuji-Xerox can print up to 16 pages per minute in colour and monochrome.
The C1618 sports a whole new design. It's quite large in size and features a clear plastic cover where the output tray is. This cover can be easily removed to reveal the four ink toners, which are very small in comparison to the other printers.

The C1618 features a 500-sheet paper tray and a 100-page multi-purpose tray. You can, however, expand the total paper capacity to 1500 sheets by purchasing two additional 500-sheet paper trays.
The C1618 features 64MB of RAM and can be expanded to 320MB. A 10GB hard disk and Adobe Postscript 3 Kit are also optional. The C1618 also comes standard with a trayless duplex unit, which lets you print on both sides of the paper. The control panel was quite easy to use but not as easy as HP's.
The C1618 also didn't seem to take as long as the other laser printers to warm up. And it didn't take long to print a first page. It does this by using a second processor.
With regards to print quality, plain text appeared nice and sharp however when it came to printing full-colour photos it was a different story. Photos appeared very rich in colour, which made some photos look unrealistic.
