11x17 laser workhorse needed...I think, duh!

Archived from groups: comp.periphs.printers (More info?)

Hello all,

Can anyone recommend a laser that can do 11x17 (tabloid) that is:

Used & available for sale on EBay or ?

Can be refilled reasonable, by that I mean, within reason refilled a few
times not stretching the cartridge (I have refilled my HP 1200 up to 3
times, with TonerRefillKits with great success.

Able to render graphics (photos) decently....at least 600 dpi.

By saying a workhorse, I don't mean thousands of prints a day, maybe 500
twice a week or less.


Thanks,

DE

Thanks Warren,

I'll start checking EBay, hopefully I'll find something in my area that I
can pick up.

HP LaserJet 4 family. The MV did 11x17, I believe, as did the Si.

Printed configuration page. It says 132939 pages. Is that possible?

No wonder the printer started getting a little cranky.

Dont know if you can find it used but I have the 5100 and its just
very good. Ver y expensive new, $1500.

Best purchase Ive made. I use to have to print tiles, three per page
to get tabloid, this saves me a lot of effort and time.

The toner cartiage seems to last forever.
