Is it possible to get the 36" version shipped for 3 grand? We can get consumables on other votes or Shelley can just buy them from her budget if she wishes. [[User:Jason|Jason]] ([[User talk:Jason|talk]]) 08:29, 22 May 2015 (CDT)

== Purchased ==
Purchased from amazon via Tom's link above. Due for delivery July 2-8 to Sevin. Total was $2,322.48 shipped. Only the printer was purchased. There is $677.52 remaining from the authorized funds for paper and ink cartridges. Someone else feel free to talk to me about purchasing them if you would like to research what is needed for this particular printer.
