Xerox Phaser 860

We were looking into purchasing a Xerox (Tektronix) Phaser 860
color printer for digital image printing. This printer uses wax
inks, and in many respects, it seems perfectly suited to archival
use. We were wondering if there are any problems with wax inks
(especially with fading in the color printouts) for archival use.
This is a fairly new type of computer printer.
