A3 b/w laser printer for design proofing

alphapeta23 August 2011 · 09:56

Hello. I am looking for a reasonably priced A3 b/w laser printer for proofing typographic/design layout.
I currently use an Epson EPL N—7000 (for a marker point).

Would anybody happen to know of any A3 lasers *I'm based in the UK*

Many thanks in advance,
Pete

I’m also looking for a good A3 laser printer for layout proofing.

Any advice anyone?

Try to find and buy a second hand Xanté Accel-A-Writer (higher end models) or Filmmaker. They mostly are A3-plus, print 1200—2400 dpi and are PostScript (v2).

Many of these were used in the printing industry for direct-imaging on off-set plates & a lot will have been replaced by more up-to-date direct-to-plate systems.
