Most of the High volume black and white machines that I know of (xerox/cannon/konica) are going to be 13x19 at most. You might want to look at maybe an Indigo? or maybe OKI or something has something larger. I am not sure

Hi graphitindia!

Have you tried checking out Xerox's DocuTech machines? Some of the printers in this series offer only black and white printing and supports 17x14 paper sizes. I dont know about 2 000 000 pages per month though. As far as I know up to the machine's average monthly volume is 1,200,000 pages per month.

Friends besides all above I would like to add that this will be our first Digital Machine.

@Emtri
Thanks for your suggestions. May you please suggest some good value for money digital printer if we leave 17" x 14" and stick to A3 Maximum. Any suggestion about Konica products?

@mjlake
Thanks for your suggestions but we are looking digital printer for 2,00,000 pages and not 20,00,000 pages per month.

-Regards

You are looking for something that does two hundred thousand a month right not two million right?

If you want 200,000 A3 pages a month look for something that is rated for 400,000 a month because everyone rates this stuff in A4 pages a month.
