Answer by typewithnospaces
I actually have several suggestions.
1st – Check out off-lease xerox printers such as the techtronic/phaser machines – many of them have 11×17 capabilities and by getting it off-lease you will pay less for a later model product. Generally these off-lease printers have been refurbished. The cost of the print cartridges may be a bit high – but you will get the quality that you want.
2nd – OkiData makes a high quality new printer that can print 11×17 – but the new ones start at about $ 4,000. You may be able to find a late model off-lease printer.
3rd – Having been in the quick print industry for over 16 years – I have worked with hundreds of artist that need high quality for low cost. Take advantage of your local (not Kinko’s – loved em but they go after the big buck clients) OfficeMax, OfficeDepot or Staples – and if you go to Depot or Max mention that Staples has a sale price of .39 per 8.5 x 11 and will they match that – it is their policy to match a competitors price. This is a good solution if you are looking to make proofs or examples to show the client. Additionally all of the above mentioned companies have the ability to receive your files via e-mail. Give them some time to produce it (like at least 4 hours to work it in to their production schedule – or ask what their turn time is) trust me if you build a good relaitonship with them they will take care of you.
Good luck!

How to clean laser printer, fax, etc.?
Question by pmejiasshopp: How to clean laser printer, fax, etc.?
Here at my job we used to order a product called Scrubex printer/fax cleaning sheets. They were alcohol based sheets you put through the printers, fax machines and copiers to clean them. I found out that they are no longer made (probably some idiots were getting high off of them). Does anyone have any other suggestions on how I can clean our equipment. I was thinking of maybe running a sheet of paper with alcohol on it through, but I don’t want to mess anything up. Any suggestions? Thanks.

1) Turn off and unplug the laser printer.
2) Remove each toner cartridge and use disposable paper towels to wipe up any excess toner spills collected near and around the rollers. Excess toner buildup in the printer can travel and clog other printer areas with dust. This can drastically affect the quality of your printed copies. Put the toners back in their respective positions and close the unit.
3) Plug the printer back in.
4) Clean the printer rollers with pretreated cleaning printing sheets. Available at most office supply stores, these sheets grab excess dirt and grime as they pass through the rollers. Place a sheet in the top printer tray and run through as if to make a copy. If you opt not to use cleaning sheets, wipe down each roller using disposable paper towels (with the printer unplugged).
5) Clean the glass with either eyeglass cleaning wipes or printer glass cleaning fluid made specifically for cleaning printing machine glass and a soft cotton cloth.
6) Clean the outside of the printer. Take a dry, clean cotton cloth or disposable cloth made of natural fibers and wipe the printer clean from top to bottom.

What will happen if I use heavyweight matte inkjet paper in a laser copier?
Question by rhdneal: What will happen if I use heavyweight matte inkjet paper in a laser copier?
I have a box of Epson professional media Matte Paper – Heavyweight, in the A3 size. It says on the box it is for the “Epson photo stylus EX/1200”, which is an inkjet printer. I no longer have an Epson inkjet printer, and want to have copies made at Kinko’s. They told me I can use any paper “as long as it works in a laser printer”.

Answer by fhotoace
All you can do is try using one sheet and see
This would be the direct approach.
My guess is that the paper will not perform well in a laser printer.
