The technology that Xerox solid ink, which was originally created by Tektronix, offers superior printing quality for professional business environments. Believe it or not, this technology at first cost around ten thousand dollars, but as technology improved and Tektronix was bought out by Xerox, the cost was reduced. The original Xerox solid ink product at first targeted the graphic arts industry, which required superior printing quality with vibrant color clear images. After the technology improved and costs were driven way down, the Xerox solid ink technology was targeted to more everyday office printing demands that require some level of print quality and cost efficiency.

Like offset printing, solid ink is melted to produce images and characters on paper. These stick are not toxic, making them safe for the average employee to handle and install. Furthermore, they claim to boost vibrancy of images and prints, which is the main appeal. The original development of the ink sticks were actually made from food-grade processed vegetable oils and, to prove exactly how safe they were for the average person to use, the president of Tektronix reportedly ate an ink stick to show that he was unharmed and even enjoyed himself a small snack!
