Applications

The Tektronix Phaser 560 was a high-end workgroup color laser printer from the mid-1990s, targeted at graphic design studios, prepress departments, and corporate environments that needed accurate PostScript color output at a time when color printing was expensive and specialized. Tektronix was a significant force in color printing before its printer division was acquired by Xerox in 2000, and the Phaser line was known for its color fidelity and PostScript compatibility. The Phaser 560 connected to networks via Ethernet and supported parallel and SCSI interfaces, making it compatible with a wide range of workstations and servers of that era including those running Windows NT, Mac OS, and Unix/Linux. Today these printers are sought by collectors of vintage computing equipment and by users maintaining legacy production workflows that rely on period-accurate PostScript output. Consumables (toner, drum units) availability should be confirmed before purchase.
