How do Artisan inks compare to Xerox®ColorStix®?
Color output? Our cyan, magenta, yellow, and black Artisan Inks produce colors essentially identical to the colors obtained from Xerox®-brand ColorStix®. Please note that as the liquid ink cools and solidifies during the manufacturing process, settling sometimes occurs in the blocks of ink – these in no way affect the performance of our ink. Our ink sticks are also shaped differently than ColorStix® due to design patents held by Xerox Corp. Page-yield? Page-yields are comparable to Xerox® ColorStix®. You can expect page yields of approx. 1100-1400 pages per ink stick (depending on printer model) for pages which are mostly text with small color graphics. Of course, your yield will vary depending upon print subject (full-page photographs use much more ink than simple text reports, for example).
