What to buy and how much?

I am currently paying to have a company print my newspaper for me. But the shipping costs are eating me alive. So I have been thinking about buying my own printing press, but I don't even know where to start.

My paper is 8-20 pages long depending on number of advertisers. It is 11x17 tabloid size printed in color. It is also printed on high bright paper. I only print 1,250 - 1,500 copies per week. Right now I am paying $380/week for 8 pages, 4 of those color, 1,250 copies per week.

So my question is what would be the most economical type of printing press I could get for this small operation? Or am I better off paying to have someone else print it for me? I realize that printing presses are massively expensive, but the money I would save by printing it myself would eventually add up, right?
