Try to find 2 off lease Bizhub Press 1250's or 3, 1052's. Good for well beyond 25 million and seem to do better the higher the volume.
Fast, Cheap, Reliable (<--pick 2)

This was at a bank and I'm sure they spent a lot on toner. They had a pallet or two of toner, so maybe they're the reason it was hard to get.
Our sales guy could never sell them on one or two production copiers. I'm not sure why. Nobody mentioned costs.
They didn't like the idea of relying on 1 or 2 machines. With 6 they could still print thousands is pages per day if one or two went out of service.
They mostly used oem. Being a bank I guess they didn't care about costs.
With 5 of those running constantly while I serviced the sixth it was noisy in that room. Each one had a stacker option too.
Two operators went around loading paper and emptying the stackers all day. In spite of the high volume I'd only get a call every other month or so.
If I were going to get a production printer I would get Canon or a couple HP's. Canon 55 ppm or faster are tanks.
I'm wondering what the bank client has to do with this client.
Nothing in common. Tight budget is limit on this one.

What a coincidence....
Yesterday I got an inquiry for a print solution.... 70m prints in 2 months..... I was like WOW....
The solutions so far I have searched are Bizhub Press 2250P and Xerox Nuvera 314, of course multiple units are required. The catch is each sheet to be printed has unique bar code and QR code.... each side..... So any thoughts about it...
At that kind of volume you definitely need a press or digital press. Make it 2. And something with good speed.
Forget about not spending money if you doing that volumes of printing. Because of the mechanical and electrical parts that make up any machine (or car) you will need to spend money to maintain it.
Remember it takes money to make money. You may want to keep this cheap but going too cheap now will cost you more later. Lots more.
My advice is look at a good digital press with a good service contract and also read the other comments again. These guys are giving great advice coming from good experience, especially the Konica Minolta press comments
Why is everyone soo big on the maintenance agreement? It costs more than having full time technician on staff? I have heard of a particular OCE machine (dont know the brand) that never gives any issues.
There's many reasons for purchasing a service agreement.
1. End users don't have access to firmware and updates.
2. If a PWB goes out, it can cost you out the arse.
3. Training your employees to repair a copier seems counter-productive. (Don't they have a full time job already?)
and lastly
4. There's no such thing as a copier (OCE or otherwise) that never has issues.
PS - One last thing. A new copier costs a pretty penny and it can go downhill quickly if it's not serviced by an expert.
Growth is found only in adversity.
