Introduction
The Tektronix Phaser 300X Color Printer uses Tektronix’ solid ink-jet
technology. Solid ink-jet refers to the melting of the solid inks inside the
printer, which then resolidify on paper. The ink resolidifies so rapidly that it
does not have time to bleed into the paper, so the printed colors remain
brilliant and well-defined.
With the Phaser 300X, you can use almost any kind of paper, such as Bond,
Book, Cover, and Text, as well as transparency film.
