    looking

    I have a customer looking for printer or copier(color preferable) that has a minimum of 3 separate pf sources. One of those pf sources is wanted for 12x18 paper. Is there a printer or copier out there like such??? I did a google search and found nothing.
    Thanks!!!

        No problem! New, Toshiba eStudio 2515AC series/ used e2505AC series. Used is a hot box, so impossible to find. Like every OEM, deep back orders with 30-60 day delays are not uncommon on new.

        I have sold several just because of this feature to engineering firms, construction firms any business that works with drawings or blueprints.

        Wide format printers print drawings on 24" x 36" paper. This is known as full "D"size.

        12" x 18" is known as "half D" size and scales perfectly.

        If you are not a Toshiba authorized dealer, you will never get one, nor toner nor parts, nor technical support. Best hope is to partner with an authorized dealer, get a built in one time sales commission and you are done.

          There are numerous MFP and printers that come with 1 tray plus manual feed table that use add-on trays that stack under the main device. I have seen HP with up to 5 trays.

            HP 5500 are older than dirty and not currently in production but they were a rare color printer that could handle Ledger (up to 18"). Sales reps had a hard time replacing them.. Of course if MFPs are an option that makes it a lot easier for you.

              Why not MFP? Author asked for printer or copier

                All of the A3 Sharp copiers that have been produced in the last 4 years will feed 12 X 18 paper

                  Yeah I know. I was just shop-talking about how rare 18x12 printers are.

                    With Ricoh MFP at least until I retired, other than entry level models they could handle 12X18 SEF out of their paper trays 2-4 and the bypass table. So if all the customer is interested in is printing, no problem.
