I am interested in knowing whether or not there is a Laser Printer that will generate 8.5 x 11 and 11 x 17 inch output. Any leads or information would be appreciated. -- Kirk : Bones ? | Phil Mason, Astronautics Technology Center Bones : He's dead Jim. | Madison, Wisconsin - "Eat Cheese or Die!" ...seismo-uwvax-astroatc!philm | I would really like to believe that my ...ihnp4-nicmad/ | employer shares all my opinions, but . . .

Both Data Products and Varityper produce such animals. Data Products is in the LA area (Canoga Park I believe, area code 818). Varityper is back east, maybe Boston. -- Phil Hughes, SSC, Inc. P.O.

There is a wide body vt600w (Varityper VT600). I'm not at work, and thus I don't know the dimensions exactly. It's going to be expensive!

The Dataproducts 2665 does a very good job on both 8-1/2" x 11" and 11" x 17" paper -- for about $20k (not cheap).

A printer that I recently inquired about, does 11x17 postscript for approx.
$10,000. It is made by a company called BGL. They are located in Camarillo,
California. The phone # is 805-987-7346. They said it was based on the
Data Products print engine, and weighs about 150 lbs.

The Imagen 7320 will accomodate an 11x17 drawer, and can you can get it with an "UltraScript (TM)" option. It is not cheap, but it also does things like duplexing, which might be particularly useful with 11x17 paper to produce bindable books.
