Newbie ? What printer should I get?

[natebrott]

Hello! I own a small carpet cleaning business in vancouver washington, I am looking to do 10,000 EDDM pieces or so a month and want to buy my own printer and do it in house.

I would Prefer to do 6.5x11 but im flexible as long as its an eddm size approved. Ideally I would like to do 14pt or 16pt.

What printer would work well for me that wouldn't cost a fortune ? lol
Also do you know what it would cost me in ink to do 10k pieces roughly?

Also, where do you buy bulk size specific paper or do you?

Thank you guys so much for your help!

The number of printers which can handle 16pt is limited.

14 pt you can do with a leased service contract multifunction or an off-lease multifunction machine you support yourself. Smaller machines don't handle the heavy stock.

For 16pt you could do with a xante which is a lower cost machine to get into but price per print is very high if coverage is high because you have to buy your own supplies.

Do you need colors to bleed to the edge of the sheet?

Will these be customized for each recipient?
