specialized printer

Do any of you know of a printer that prints double sided automatically and at least 11x17 prints? It does not necessarily need to be a photo printer.

Thanks

check out xerox phazer laser printers with duplex capabilities. they take a dry ink similar to a crayon and you can get paper trays for different size prints. however, they are not cheap, i use the older 8400 model and it makes beautifull prints.

There are quite a few out there, although they are more expensive. Look for an "A3" printer with duplex. I am most familiar with the laser options - if you want color they do get pretty pricey.

Here are some of the toner based (laser or LED) printers:

Lexmark W840 - Mono - about $2300
Lexmark C935 - Color - About $3200

Xerox Phaser 5550 (Need DN model for Duplex) - Mono - About $2700
Xerox Phaser Phaser 7400 (Need DN model for Duplex) - Color (LED) - About $3000
Xerox Phaser 7760 - Color - About $5000

I am not as familiar with the HP offerings - A3 is not as big a market for them. Although I am pretty sure they have a couple. I would not really consider any of the models to be "Photo" printers. The technology is just not as good as Inkjet or Dye Sub for photos.

I appreciate the help. Thanks

Just remember that if you are planning to print photos then most photo paper is one sided.
