If you're looking far forward into the future and see yourself taking on bigger printing jobs yourself, you should consider investing on long-term printers so that you wouldn't need to buy as many additional equipment for your added services. No specific printer suggestions, but one that isn't likely to become obsolete soon should be perfect.
 
It all depends on your specifics. Of course you need to consider the volume of expected prints to be delivered, paper sizes and all.

Are your prints more on text, especially those of 10pt font or below? Is it photo based or font based? If it's the latter then consider buying laser printers. As we all know, inkjet printers cannot provide crisp lines and texts of fonts lower than 10pt.

Just try to research more based on your desired specifications. Good luck!
