    I'm a total novice in the printing game. Can anyone recommend a average priced printer for the production of calendars?

    How much coverage?

    How many prints will you be doing per month?

    With laser printers in general, larger more expensive machine = cheaper cost per print. Your print volume determines what's the best fit for you economically.

    Thank you for such a quick response.
    I anticipate a low volume as I start up; about 1500 copies per month. But I would hope that the volume would increase to 10,000 per month. I need full bleed capability and automatic two sided printing. I am trying to look ahead. I don't know if I should start with the lower machine cost inkjet for the low volume and just bite the bullet when the business increases and get the laser. Just looking for guidance.
    Thank you.

    10000 would be alot cheaper to litho, if you want a recomendation on a printer, i would say get a service contract on one and pay per print, (dont know your going rate over there but) even at 4c per click ie 8c per 11x17 x10000

    also not many small lasers would ever cope with this, alot cheaper to outsource to litho
