I've gone through a lot of printers. My grandfather, dad, my uncle, my brother and myself all grew up in the print industry. I once went though 15 different inkjet, ink and paper combinations in one summer just trying to figure out how to print good archival quality B&W photos. At the end I came up with something that was so durable you could run the ink jet prints through the dishwasher. The Xerox WorkCentre 7855 machine I recommended for PS1 is the same one I use every week running commercial printing jobs in my basement. It works well, is super reliable and super low cost to run. I can get PS1 Canon machine with the same specs for free with a set of toners but I wouldn't recommend it. It works well but the supplies are too expensive. It was an old machine of mine. I also have a Konica Minolta which I bought with only 7,000 prints on it for $900 but I wouldn't recommend that either because its too hard to service. The Xerox WorkCentre 7855 is the Goldilocks for PS1, not too big, not too expensive, punches above it's weight and we can get parts and service when need them and don't have to pay for it when we don't.
I want something at PS1 that most people will benefit from and that will be operational when they are there. This solution is way better than what exists now and will keep running for years whether I am the host or not.

It’s my view that printing can be a useful tool for members - and there is even opportunity to attempt to break even with free allotments and chargeable services. Either way, I see a net benefit.
