Ok, our old DesignJet 1050c printer has finally reached the end (after a temperamental last year or two), so we're looking at replacing this. Anyone have any thoughts on what a decent large format printer is these days? We're certainly not a large volume printer, I'd say we print between 100 and 200 posters a year, and I'd say at least 95% of what we're printing is posters for conferences that our faculty and grad students are attending. These posters tend to be largely text based, with some line or bar graphs on them. Sometimes they have some photos (and when they do, we need a fairly decent reproduction of those). We've had enough requests for something a little wider than 36" such that we'd like to get at least a 42" printer (and quite frankly, anything wider than that is probably out of our budget). We do know about the services offered by the library for printing these, but we're still interested in keeping this in house (and the library looks like they can only do up to 36", which while for most things is ok, it's still something we'd like to be able to go above periodically). Our last printer lasted us somewhere between 6 and 10 years (long enough that we honestly can't remember exactly when it was purchased), so over time I think we do enough printing to justify having it in-house. (And of course, over the years it's something that our users have gotten used to having available.) At this point, I've been kind of leaning towards the 44 inch models of either the HP T770 or T1200 printers, but I'm wondering if anyone has any thoughts on either these models, or other models that I should consider. I'd say the upper limit of what we're really looking to pay would be about $10k. Our secretarial staff does most of the printing (and changing paper, ink, etc), so something that's reasonably easy to work with is a plus too (the old 1050c that we had was fine, so as long as it wasn't worse than something like that). Any thoughts? Thanks, Gary
