The 8200 DP model is the best value in the Phaser 8200 lineup. It offers a 1200 dpi photo mode, which comes in handy for amazingly realistic, vibrant photo printing. There are many things to like about this printer, and a few drawbacks as well.

More the technical service by phone is very bad, in rest 15 minutes by the phone without obtaining no information.
The technician who he envoy, have not experience under Mac. The machine does not work under Panther 10.3.1
Luckily, this machine are going to be resumed. I must negotiate after the first week of purchase with letters registered to that I receive earning of cause after two months of confrontation.
I was going almost to make a scandal in the press, I do not want to listen any more spoken about Xerox products.

Pros: auto duplexing prints on almost any paper low cost per page
Cons: makes clankety-clank noises higher initial investment not suitable for legal paper

I decided to purchase the Xerox Phaser 8200DP after considering some of the low-cost entry-level color lasers. After evaluating the total cost of ownership plus the hassle of keeping supplies on hand, I decided this product was worth the extra initial cost. (The rebate made it more attractive). I chose the DP model for the auto duplexing and networking. It's also got Postscript 3 and a bunch of fonts. The solid ink means I just feed it wax blocks, no swapping out plastic drums. And it prints great on the cheapest multipurpose paper. I've only been using it a short while but I'm very happy with my choice.

I use it in my mortgage business - primarily creating marketing materials - and it is great for personalized color mailings and brochures. It also does a decent job with appraisals. But I keep my B&W laser for generating letter and legal sized loan documents.
