Need to get some professional advice on the purchase of a laster printer for our workplace. We are currently looking for a laser printer to be able to handle the following:
– 13 x 19 Super B paper printing (1-sided).
-PostScript ready for use with CorelDraw 10 and Adobe Photoshop 7 running on a Windows XP O/S.
– Highest resolution possible as these will be going to camera for shooting negatives from, prefer minimum of 600 x 600 dpi.
– Capable of doing Letter, Legal and Tabloid printing as well as Super B. – Would GREATLY prefer a colour laser at this time as we are trying to rid ourselves of the inkjet printer we currently use.
The colour is not so much an issue here, but obviously we do print in colour from time to time for proofing purposes as well as for making some posters and individual fliers. Our ideal colour would be able to print on 13×19 but typically we only go as large as 12×18 printing in colour. But for making b/w prints we do use and require 13×19 paper for some of our larger print jobs.
For colour we do NOT want to go back to inkjets if at all possible as we know that inkjets will not produce the proper screens and halftones we need in b/w mode. Only a quality laser printer can accomplish this. Hence the reason we are looking for something that can do both. So far I’m running into a brick wall and not finding anything that seems to be able to handle the 12×18 or 13×19 printing. I guess lasers can only do 11×17? Not sure why, though.
So what do you all use out there? I’m sure not everyone is using inkjets for colour work and I can’t believe that no one prints over 11×17 in colour. So I need some recommendations from graphics professionals.
Thanks in advance for all your help!
