Just as a counterpoint to Neil, I really cannot recommend Ricoh printers at all. My Ricoh AP2610 (the predecessor to the AP610 -- they use all the same parts) has easily been the worst printer I have ever owned. On top of that, the toner cartridges are extremely expensive and many are defective out-of-the box or start to fail long before the ink is out (black smudges on the padge, etc.) (These are Ricoh cartridges, not third-party cartridges.) I have, on multiple occasions, had to call in a Ricoh tech for a house call (at $300 a visit) to fix essential parts that have broken off, etc.

When I bought the printer, the price seemed too good to be true -- and it was.

Cheers,

I have learned much from the thread concerning binding. I now pose an even more basic question: What printers are recommended for your oversized pages? I would like to purchase one capable of printing larger that 8.5" x 14". Thoughts?
Assuming you are asking about Laser printers, I have had been highly satisfied with my purchase of a Ricoh AP610 N, also marketed by Savin and Gestetner under different model designations. This handles 11 x 17 paper, which meets my needs for now. An abstract of the specs: 1200 x 1200 dpi; 35 pages per minute; toner cost (on my output, your experience may be different) about three quarters of a cent per page. Biggest disadvantage: a bit hard to find; pretty much have to go through an authorized dealer.
