Wide Format Color Printers
-
Working with sign shops you have many options, inkjet, laser, and since there is low page count ink price may not be a consideration. You can find many printers from reputable company's that run from 12-13" to ***. Epson and HP come to mind. If ever you wish to expand your PPM, Laser would beat Ink in cost per page if that is a consideration for you. And if you ever wish to expand your page size, a few extra inches would not be a bad idea also. Look to the future.

I think it is because of the fuser. The bigger the format, the less likely to be laser.

Laser Wide format printers are crazy expensive compared to ink.

Fusers that look like large print heads for heat/thermal transfer are used. One that is a film printer, and yes expensive, is the Gerber Edge, it uses film for a very clean output. On vinyl.

Large-format lasers are rare. Insanely expensive too.
For your volume, I'd say the HP OfficeJet 7612.

why not just look at a Toshiba mfp, or any color mfp for that fact? Every single one of my Toshiba mfp's 4540 (color) or 356 (b&w) do 11x17 native. No changes and can be used for every day printing, therefore eliminating the specialty. The Toshiba units that I purchased are $7000 but last a million or more prints with proper maintenance.
