Hi all!
After due deliberation, we at our school have decided to print the school paper ourselves in order to cut down the cost. Raising the money each time we want to put out a paper has been an uphill struggle, and we desperately need a better solution than having it printed professionally.
To that end we've been looking over some printers, but without any real knowledge of the market it's horribly confusing. With that in mind, I rather hoped I might leech off of your superiour insight. Any suggestions, hints, advice that might come in handy?
The paper is fairly simple, 100g A4. We're considering printing the front and back on 170g paper to make a more sturdy cover, but this isn't necessarily a requirement. What is required is that it be able to print in good quality and colour, stack quite a few hundred pages and handle some 20000 prints a month. I'm not sure what sort of price range we're going for, but I'd rather look at quality than price at first.
I've no idea if you can help me, but if we do manage to scrape the money together I'd hate to just do a blind buy. If you know of anywhere I can read what types of printers would be suitable, I'd be very much interested in a link.
Hope you can help.
Regards,
Niels Jakob
