I am wanting a color laser printer that has separate trays for Letter, Legal and 11x17 sheets.
That way I do not have to load legal paper in my current printer, and I will not have to keep sending 11x17's to my 36" wide plotter.
Any body make anything like this? If so, have any of you used them?

Great machine if you can put up with an inkjet. Currently on sale at Office Depot.

We have a Ricoh with three trays and a fourth bypass tray. The regular trays are letter, letter with letterhead, and legal. We use the bypass for 11" by 17". I don't know if it is inkjet but does a great job.

Canon makes them, I use them, the question is do you want to pay $7000 for one :-O
My solution is to stop using legal size paper. I have somehow been putting out surveys for over 12 years without it.

I have the 6710DW and it is good inkjet. The only thing I dislike is it is built very flimsy. They sucked every drop of cost out of it they could. So keep it in a safe area where it won't get bumped or it will probably break. They are so cheap that I suppose it it breaks you just get a new one.
I don't use it all that much. Whether this printer would stand up to heavy use I doubt.

The Brother is a good printer
It is the first I've had that will print both sides of the paper and print booklets.
:good:

I use legal size rarely, but 11 x 17 all the time. Call me picky but it would be nice to have something that would do it, so I do not have to use the big plotter all the time.
At work we can print to the copy machine. Way above my pay grade to figure out how, but it might be something to look into.
that's the problem with going to ledger size with color.... $$$$ for the unit and then pretty expensive for toners.
we had an okidata that we ran for about 7 years and it was great quality and expensive, but Mrs. File loved it. ( mainly used for her graphics business)
our dealer dropped the okis and we went with aa kyocera and weren't impressed. currently looking for something else. maybe oki, canon, or sharp.

This is what I have.
Printer is cheap, they get you on the ink.
I just ordered our company a new HP Color LaserJet Enterprise M750dn. Expensive, but I have seen it in action and it makes great prints.
I've had the J6510DW for about 2 years. At the advice of another Beerlegger a while back, I purchase my ink from here:
Is it the best quality? I don't know. Is it recommended by Brother? No. Has the ink been a problem for me? No. Am I willing to use the knock off brand ink in a $200 printer? Yes.

The MJ doesn't come with separate trays for each size.:-(
Good printer and scanner
INKJET 11 x 17 printer
I have an ink sucking hp printer that does 11 x 17, I only use it for scanning and it even uses ink somehow just scanning. But it scans and organizes nicely.
I also have the desktop hp 110 plus that does any size up to 24 x 36. No individual paper trays, but its not a big deal since its only about 5 feet from my desk.
I think the new ones are called hp120.
Easy on ink, as a matter of fact I print a boatload of survey's through it and can go about 3 months or better before new ink is needed.

I'm using an Epson WF-7010
I like it because it prints both sides easily, but it seems to use ink rapidly, too. It is one fast printer.

Personally, I would not recommend the KM. I purchased one that did 11x17, had multiple trays, and was color. For the price paid, it's operation and durability were lacking. Right now it is sitting in the corner of my office waiting for me to send it in for repairs on a side door that finally broke from being opened and shut so much to clear out paper jams. On 11x17, it was very susceptible to paper jams when using the 11 x 17 tray.
That is just my review of it. There are many positive reviews about the same printer out there in the interweb.
I have been much more satisfied with the Brother inkjet that was recommended in posts above.
I have the BROTHER with re-fillable cartridges. Never bought a cartridge in 4 years.
