Hi folks, I'm co-organizing a community letterpress print-shop/zine library here in the northeast -- https://www.hardpressedvt.org/ and looking to figure out a new photocopier/printer for our shop. We are considering getting a riso but also looking to get something that can make quality prints/copies for zines in our collection and those wanting to make new zines. Does anyone have any good printer/copier suggestions? We aren't going to be a copy-shop per-se but wondering what models folks have in their libraries and/if they like them! Ability to do 11x17 is ideal but open to all suggestions. Thanks so much, happy spring!

Ooh--we've been fantasizing getting a riso for our zine library. Maybe Amanda and other Anchor Archives folks can tell you what they've learned from providing access to the People's Photocopier <https://anchorarchive.org/photocopier>. btw, maybe not the best for volume, but I love using a tank printer <https://epson.com/ecotank-ink-tank-printers> (instead of toner cartridges) at home. I learned about it in *Behind the Zines*. They're cheaper and less wasteful.
