Digital Printer Recommendation

[M@CK]

Hey guys, new member here.
I'd like to start by saying thanks to the administrator and users for this beautiful forum.

I'd like to get some advice on the purchase of a new or used digital Copier/Printer.
I run a Trade-shop thats converting to digital printing.
We have an existing customer that already buys a lot of 13" x 19" digital prints elsewhere.
So basically to do this business I need a printer that prints 14" x 20" right ?

In the basic research I did, I only found two printers that print this size: the IGen3 or IGen4.
My first question is there any other printer available that prints this size ?
If not, since this is a very expensive piece of equipment should I consider buying used ?
Or is Xerox going to kill me on the service contract if I buy used ?

Thank you all for your time reading my post.

Regards
Matt
