I want to thank everyone on the Finale list who recommended the Ricoh 2610 Laser Printer. (This is the black-only laser that prints up to 11x17 paper that is available for $530 - $580). I just helped my wife pick it out for me for my Christmas gift - it's great!.
I had been putting off reprinting a revised 52 page 11x17 score that I need very soon. The first time I printed it I sat up all night cutting and pasting together 8 1/2 x 11 pages individually, then headed off to a large xerox machine. Now I'll be able to make a better looking score in a few short minutes. One question - the paper tray will go a little wider than 11 inches. Has anyone tried any larger dimensions for parts? The rest totally off topic - it's just funny how things works out sometimes: Last year, I was playing trombone on the same 7 service, 3 1/2 day, after-Christmas church gig I had played for several years (big, affluent church, heavy Elizabethan costume). The gig pays very well, but has had one big problem - it always got very hot, and I have had a lot of problems with heat. Last year was an unusually warm winter, and the antique heating and cooling system couldn't deal with it. I roasted and suffered, and swore I wouldn't play the gig again. But this year I was doing a little better with heat tolerance, had heard it would be a cold winter, decided I would give it one more chance. Particularly, after reading on this list about that great Ricoh printer, I decided I would play the gig and use the money to pay for part of the printer. Turns out - I got a good price on the printer ($558, including shipping, at PCNation), the gig paid more than I remembered ($560 - two bucks more than the printer!) and - guess what? Over the summer, the church had spent a million and a half bucks to update things, including replacing the heating and cooling system! The second day of the show, while it was 60-plus degrees outside, and would have gotten 85 inside normally, the AC was CHILLIN! The gig was tiring, but actually fun, (good snacks in between services!) and I broke even on a great printer in the deal. And I owe it all to you guys!
