I bought a used HP 5siMX for a hundred quid with a quarter million copies logged. It's an A3 laser, w/duplexer, postscript, network built in. These things can do a couple of million copies so my 10,000/year shouldn't stress it!
I maxed out the memory to 72mb for $30 + $5 shipping to the UK. When I press print they stream out one after the other even in A3 mixed EPS and hi-res photos from Adobe Indesign. I can't imagine paying for a new one, the printout is as good as my previous laser printer was on day one (an HP 6MP that the cat slept in quite often - only stopped using that as I needed A3 - it did 5 years faithful service and is in the attic "just in case"). I don't have experience of any lasers other than HP, but the two that I've owned are built like battleships, they just go on and on. _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
