[QUOTE="firefighter4443, post: 195447, member: 1494"] Hey! you're getting into my experience range! I'm printing triple that, but on three printers. I'd say look into an HP Color LaserJet 4700. The quality is pretty good, and we've printed 5x8 cardstock (Index cards without the lines, high gsm, not sure excatly what it was) through Tray 1 (flip down from front). I've never seen this thing jam, and it's quality is pretty darn nice. Also, it can print double sided, and does 30 color ppm. That 170 G paper might not go through the duplexer nicely, but this printer, (and the driver we're using) has a really nice manual duplex option, talks you through it real nice (even pops up a little window on your computer with a simple picture of the printer, and how to pull the half finished print job off and place it in the tray so it comes out properly), and we printed on both sides of those 5x8 cards using that function. I'm quite satisifed with it. Cartridges cost a decent bit, but they last quite a while. I just printed a supplies status page off of mine: the black's got 47%% of its estimated life left, after printing 4,552 pages (4036 estimated remaining) at 8.1% coverage; yellow 's at 93% after 748 pages (9,252 pages left) at 4.9% coverage; cyan's at 26% left after 12,085 (4,246 estimated remaining) at 1.6% coverage; and magenta's at 64% left after 6,740 (9252 estimated remaning) at 0.9%. Overall, it seems like our 4700 is giving us approximately: 9,600 pages per black cartridge 16,300 on cyan 18,700 for magenta and 10,000 pages for yellow. Find out what price you can get the printer for, and find the price for your cartridges and you can find yourself a real cost per page. Also, I suggest getting the real, brand new cartridges from HP. I've had some bad luck (quality wise) with remanufactured, although our remanufactured ones might have come from a really bad remanufacturer. Good luck with your printer hunt, and I hope you get one that works for you. [/QUOTE]
