Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Xerox DocuColor 260 is actually for

Most printer pages just tell you what a printer does. Here's the honest version: when this machine is the right choice, when it's fine, and when you should look at something else. We sell a lot of these for a reason, but the reason is not "every office."

Best fit

Pick this if...

  • You already have DocuColor 260 units and need a matched unit.
  • You print 15,000-40,000 color pages a month.
  • Your dealer guarantees parts and toner.
  • You don't need walk-up copy or scan on this device.
  • You drive all jobs through Fiery from a workstation.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • It's fine if you bridge to a newer Versant or C-series later.
  • It's fine if your operator is experienced on Fiery.
  • It's fine if some color jobs go to a newer device.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • Skip this for new fleet rollouts.
  • Skip this if you need scan/copy on the same unit.
  • Skip this if supplies aren't guaranteed.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

Xerox DocuColor 260 is a 75/60-ppm cut-sheet color production printer — single-function (no copy/scan) for shops that drive jobs only from a controller. Monthly duty cycle is 200,000 pages, paper capacity reaches 4,055 sheets, and stocks 64-300 gsm including coated and synthetic are supported up to 13x19. Resolution is 2400x2400 dpi, and the controller is the EFI Fiery EX 260 for color-managed production work. The single-function form factor saves about 12 inches of footprint versus the equivalent MFP and removes scan-station distractions in a print-shop setting. One regret: like the rest of the DocuColor line, it's EOL — only buy refurbished with guaranteed parts and toner availability. The EFI Fiery EX 260 controller supports VDP, ICC color profile management, and JDF integration with PRINERGY for shops driving jobs from a centralized prepress workflow. Xerox dealer service contracts on this class typically run $0.04-$0.08 per color page and $0.008-$0.012 per B&W page depending on minimum monthly volume committed.

Supplies & consumables

Toner, yields, and what to actually reorder

The #1 question we get on this printer is "which toner do I buy?" Short answer: you have two cartridge options and a drum. Standard yield TN830 covers roughly 1,200 pages. High yield TN830XL covers roughly 4,500 pages and is the better value for most offices. Pick XL unless you print very little.

The drum unit (DR810) is separate and usually lasts 15,000 to 30,000 pages before it needs replacing. At a typical small office volume, expect to change it once every 2 to 4 years.

If you lease this printer through us, toner and drum are included. You never pay for supplies separately. That's usually the better deal once you add up real costs over 3 years.

FAQ

Xerox DocuColor 260, common questions

The questions we get asked most often on this model. If yours isn't here, call (888) 574-5120 and get an answer in about 30 seconds.

Yes, the Xerox DocuColor 260 ships with starter toner cartridges. The starter yields are approximately 30,000 pages for black and 31,700–34,000 pages for color (cyan, magenta, yellow). Replacement toners, such as the high-yield 6R1219 (black) and 6R1220/6R1221/6R1222 (color), offer similar yields. When you lease through us with toner included, you never pay for toner separately.
The Xerox DocuColor 260 is a single-function color printer (75 ppm B&W, 60 ppm color) with an EFI Fiery EX 260 controller, ideal for print shops needing high-volume output without scanning. The Xerox Color EC70 is an MFP (75 ppm B&W, 70 ppm color) with scanning, duplexing, and optional specialty toners (gold/silver/clear/white). The EC70 also supports higher paper capacity (up to 5,260 sheets) and includes a built-in color server. For small offices needing multifunction capabilities, the EC70 is the better choice.
The Xerox DocuColor 260 is designed for high-volume production (200,000 pages/month) and may exceed the needs of most small businesses. Its 75/60 ppm speed and lack of scanning/copying make it better suited for print shops. Small businesses with lower volume or multifunction needs should consider a more compact option.
Yes, the Xerox DocuColor 260 is a full-color production printer with 2400x2400 dpi resolution and support for coated/synthetic media. It uses separate cyan, magenta, yellow, and black toners for high-quality color output.
