Printers
(OP)
I apologize in advance for being kind of off topic – there is a printers/plotters discussion in another forum but the posts are old.
I have opened my shop, part-time, doing general civil, hydrology and hydraulics, engineering. I need a printer. I bought a used Xerox phaser 790 from a graphics company that had recently upgraded (craig’s list)…the printer has some issues and will not work, the seller gave me my money back this morning.
All that said, I would like to know what kind of printers other small firms are using and would recommend. I will be printing general documents, color letterhead, marketing stuff, and 11x17 aerial photographs.
Just curious to see what others are using. Does anyone have a printer that they would recommend to others?

Try photo shops-they have some large format printers.

For bigger stuff I bought a Canon ImagePROGRAF 5000. It will print up to 17X24 cut sheet and 17"X100' off the roll. I bought it to print photographs and it does that beautifully, but it also does a really fine job on engineering drawings (I've printed several thousand 11X17 drawings, and with high quality paper, imbedded photographs make the drawings really pretty). Again, it was pretty expensive, but I've found it to be darn well worth it.

I am thinking of going to a two printer system, a good color laser for 8.5x11 general office stuff and then an injet for 11x17s.
