    Default What printer should I get?

    First, I'm sorry if I missed an old post that covers this subject.

    My job involves printing 4,000-4,500 pages per day (approximately 120,000 pages per month), most of it double sided. Everything we print is on 75-80 gsm (20lbs) 11x8.5 standard letter paper. This printing has to start and finish within 5-6 hours. Right now, we are using two HP Color LaserJet 4700dn's and one HP Color LaserJet 9500hdn. I would like to replace them with one printer capable of:
    1) 70+ color ppm
    2) consumable materials that would last a minimum of 100,000 pages (cartridges, drums, cleaning kits, fuser kits, transfer kits, ect).
    3) cost per page at 25% black, 10% color coverage lower than 10 cents, and if possible, lower than 5 cents

    Initial cost is not really a factor, just a printer capable of what I ask, and that is less than 72 inches wide, although 84 could be acceptable.

    Additional concerns:

    A) The only paper I use is 75-80 gsm Letter (11 x 8.5 inch).
    B) Hole punching and stapling capablilites would be nice but not required. No folding, bookmaking, ect. capablities are required, just 3 hole punching and stapling.
    C) Copying, faxing, or any of those other functions are not required, just printing.
    D) 1,500 pages is the least I can go on the input bin, although the capability to hold 4,000 pages would be nice.

    Please let me know what brands and models could do what I require without too many extra bells and whistles.

    One last thing, two printers that, combined, meet my requirements would also be acceptable. Example, two printers at 35+ color ppm, consumable materials that only needed to be replaced after 50,000 pages or more (for 25% black, 10% color coverage) at less than 10 cents per page.

    Cost per page is most important, followed by speed.

    Thanks!
