Large format printer
Does anyone know of a large format LASERJET printer? I have a friend who wants to replace her Epson 2000 with a Laserjet equivalent and I have never heard of such a beast. Any help would be appreciated.

How large? The largest lasers I know of are for 11 x 17, the largest standard cut sheet paper size. Last ones I know about are the 4MV, but I know newer ones exist. Does she need CADD size, 24 x 36 or even 36 x 48? A quick google brings up this one, I am sure there are others. http://usa.kyoceramita.com/americas/jsp/Kyocera/productdetails.jsp? pid=19250cid=10574 Which is a laser and will print up to 36 x 48. The problem is the drivers. This one only lists windows drivers. My guess is that most monochrome large format jobs are CADD, and the defacto CADD standard is AutoCADD, not on the Mac for a number of years. Is MacPlot still around? You may want to check with the Mac CADD vendors to see what they might recommend.

Fuji makes a thing called a Pictroproof or Pictroprint. Dunno if that is what you might want.

I looked up the specs on the epson and I don't think there is a Laserjet equivalent? It really depends on what she is wanting to print. The Epson prints 13 inches by 44 inches and I don't know a laser that does that (in color). Also the Epson uses pigmented inks which are much more finely milled than laser toner. So for quality photos that last a long time the Epsons are better. I suspect, for archival colors, that the Xerox thermal wax printers might come close. However I don't think any of those come in 13 inch wide. Most people who use the Epsons are printing photos and using the 13 inch wide feature of the printers. There are good laser printers that do a good job on photos but I don't know of any larger than 11X17. What is she trying to print?
