Blueprints are now easily printed with the availability of the 11×17 printer. You’ll find that the 11×17 printer is typically best picked out by the actual planning offices that use them. Below, I’ll provide you with a short list of good 11×17 machines you can choose from.
Unfortunately, a big 11×17 printer is not an inexpensive item to purchase. For this reason, you don’t see too many of the larger more powerful ones in your typical home. This large format printer can sell as much as $6,000. Many standard offices will forgo this price, since this size print isn’t always necessary.
It goes without saying that a little inkjet 11×17 printer won’t cost you nearly as much to buy, but it will take much longer to print than a professional quality one. There is really no sense getting the inkjet, just go directly to the laser printer and there are more options when you go laser too.
You’ll find that Xerox has a wide range of wide format printing options for you to choose from. They haven’t got the great marketing that their copy machines had for so long, but they are good printers either way. The Xerox 7760 series aims to become even more successful than the 7750 series. It is aimed at marketing, which is why the colors of its print are really bright and it has excelled in the marketing and advertising categories. The printing is also expected to be really fast. These machines are also compatible with both Mac and Windows based systems.
Another company that has left its mark in photocopying is also treading on wide copy printing by going into the 11×17 printer market is Konica Minolta. I’m talking about the Konica-Minolta 8650. This model prints in both 11×17 paper as well as standard size paper. This machine is a work horse, but doesn’t always print color as well as the Xerox. This being said, the Konica Minolta device has more printing options than the Xerox.
The leading brand in printers is of course HP and its 11×17 printer does not disappoint either. Their main machine is the Laser Jet 6051. This machine should be replacing all of the machines in the 5000 series in the near future. While 11×17 printer is expected to take up a lot of space, the HP series is really big. This is because the HP innovation has separated the toner and drums instead of the mono-component toner cartridges it used to employ. While it is big in size, it is also quite expensive. The quality of the printing is good but would you want your 11×17 printer this big and this much?
