    Default Recommendations for a 12 x 18 color laser printer

    Looking for recommendations for a laser printer to print 2000-3000 Arch "B" size drawings a year. Fast is nice but warp speed isn't a requirement. We paste plant pictures on our drawings so good resolution and color is important.
    Need network capability and separate drawers for 8.5 x 11 and 12 x 18.
    Preferably less than $5K

    I have my copier networked and it will print up to 12x18 in color or b/w. The only negative is that the largest copy or scan it will make is 11x17? go figure. It is because the glass is only large enough for 11x17. But printing is fine. It is a konica minolta bizhub c351 and cost us under $5000

    We have a HP 9050 Laser that can do 11X17 and also a HP 5550 Color laser that can do 11X17. No dice on 12 X 18 though, not sure if you can find such a beast. I absolutely love our 11X17 laser printers though.

    I've found the Epson Sylus Photo R1800 does a pretty good job for doing B size plots.
    I use it for my check plots and production on small projects.

    The best printer that I have found so far for that task (in my opinion, at least) is the Xerox DocuPrint C4350. We have one here in our office and it does a great job.
