Definitely need to print A3 & A4

Thinking of getting either one good printer that can handle both paper sizes, and have separate feeder trays for each

or

Simply getting one A3 printer and one A4 printer

If anyone uses this kind of combination, could you recommend something?

To do what ?

What file types are you working with, how many users, what environment, colour or mono , what speed you looking for and whats your budget ?

peer to peer, 2 users, colour, laser not essential

AllanB

Is the bulk of your output photographs or general graphics ?

Yeah - I was looking at perhaps one A3 printer like the HP Designjet 30, then perhaps a stand alone laser for A4

Ideally a fast high quality A3 / A4 printer that has proper input trays for the paper. Nothing prohibitively priced though

Mono lasers are dirt cheap these days on A4, loads of choice such as HP, Brother,Kyocera, Samsung all good stuff.

Re the A3 I personally prefer the results from Epson but some of the printers have a tendancy for the print heads to clog when not in use which the HPs don't seem to suffer from.

Something like the Epson 1160 may be suitable just bear inmind I think the ink are made up of one colour pack and one black so running costs might be a little high but thats the trade off the the cheap purchase price.
