Well the number of responces to this article was small. We now have $10,000 budgeted and have run into a possible dead end. We need a laser printer that will except a 11" x 16" sheet of paper. This is larger than legal size paper. Many people, mainly in sales, mislead me because they thought that legal size paper was 11 x 16 when it is really 8.5 x 14. We can even live with handfeeding the paper. I need to give a final recommendation 01-26-90, At this point I feel that we will have to scrap the project. The only alternative is tiling the output and pasting the paper together. Has anyone have a comment on this? I heard it was difficult. Thanks for any help. John M. Cook

I tried to send you e-mail, but it bounced back (unknown domain).
In the latest issues of InfoWorld and PC Week (Jan. 15), you can see
the announcements for a brand new QMS laser printer called QMS-PS
2200 Model B that prints 11x17-inch pages at the rate of 11 pages
per minute. Both the 250-sheet paper cassette and the 100-sheet
bypass feed bin handle 8 1/2x11 through 11x17-inch paper. It costs
$9,995.

This is really almost "B" size. You're going to be publishing newsletters when you get confused about "except" and "accept"? They don't even sound the same. And you don't know paper sizes? Ugh. You probably like Helvetica too. Truly, DTP has brought a lot of ugliness into this world. Anyway, we have several Imagens which can handle "B" size paper. I think $10,000 will buy one. But I could be wrong. -- Phil Ngai, phil@diablo.amd.com {uunet,decwrl,ucbvax}!amdcad!phil Peace through strength.

Ugh. > >Phil Ngai, Would you have prefered if I posted that our newspaper page is 10.8 by 16.15 inches, pick-up one of your local pennysavers and measure for yourself it is a standard. But for you I can say I need a 11 by 17 inch laser printer. Besides I'm not a English major and I don't proofread my postings. John Cook
