Hello folks,
note: those lazy can read ahead to recap
The proposal deadline for grants given by the school is coming up and our school newspaper is looking to get a new printer and I needed some input since, although i'm not too stupid when it comes to computers, i'm a 'tard when it comes to printers. Anyways, i need something that's fairly fast (i think its about 5000 pages per issue assuming 500 subscriptions and 10 pages each...) so that the print department of the newspaper doesn't have a great urge to lynch technology. Now again, when it comes to printing i'm st00pid so i don't know 5 ppm from 30 so use your own discretion. it has to print tabloid (11x17) and the front page and front page of sports are in color so probably a color laserjet? Also need something durable (20k pp a month about). as for cost, its the school that's paying for it so just try keeping it cheap
recap:
thanks,
your neighboorhood school newspaper technology department

recap:
- fast enough to print 5k pages and still allow someone to organize them in a night
11x17 printing
cheap is good
durable (20k+ pp a month)
