why not just look at a Toshiba mfp, or any color mfp for that fact? Every single one of my Toshiba mfp's 4540 (color) or 356 (b&w) do 11x17 native. No changes and can be used for every day printing, therefore eliminating the specialty. The Toshiba units that I purchased are $7000 but last a million or more prints with proper maintenance.
