Recommendations for High Volume Color Laser Printers?

Posted by Cliff on from the churning-out-pages-at-an-incredible-rate dept.

dughutch asks: "My church currently uses a small business color laser printer (Minolta 2200), but alas, it can not handle the load of our growing congregation. We are looking at buying a higher volume color laser printer and I wanted to ask the Slashdot readers for any and all information on possible solutions relating to this question, including, but not limited to: cost, volume, repairs, and outsourcing?"

  1. Does it need to be laser? by dacarr · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Why not inkjet? Epson puts out a pretty good one. Also, would it be better to go to places like Kinko's with a single color master? IIRC, color laser printers simply aren't cheap, and if it's a growing congregation, you can maybe get one on an NPO program, but again, *color laser*?

      Ack, ink jets and high volume do not mix.

      Unless ofcourse you don't mind paying through the nose for ink.

  2. Can you define "high volume" by ip_vjl · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Can you give a better definition of what you mean by high volume.

    500 flyers for the sunday service each week
    or
    10,000 11x17 double-sided brochures every week.

    Do you have any special requirements?
    Must print on paper type ______.
    Must handle these sizes?
    Doublesided printing in single pass?
    Do you care: postscript/PCL?

    A little more info would be helpful.
