I have a couple of short books on learning languages, and I plan to write a few more.
I am looking for an inexpensive printer that I can do this at home, just print off 1 or 2 books at a time. All my stuff is to be done on half-size paper - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2". The sheets of paper come prepared that way, half the size of your basic printer ream.
Many printers have advertised they have a 250 sheet paper tray, and that they have "adjustable" paper size. However, after I purchased the printers, I discovered that the pull-out paper tray only takes letter or legal, not my half-size letter, and that the "adjustable" feature only applies when you are using the 50 sheet capacity "input tray".
Or that the "duplex" printing only works when you are using the smaller "input" tray. My book is about 150-200 pages, so it doesn't work for me.
Anybody got any suggestions for a printer which is small, but high quality, does duplex on 1/2 size standard paper, in one run of at least 200 sheets?
It would be nice if the output tray will hold 200 sheets, but not absolutely necessary.
What about quality - is the laser(jet) type better for pages of a book that would look like a real book, or is inkjet good enough?
