Production / Enterprise Level Printing With Multiple Sorter/Mailbox Trays
-
I'm in the midst of a difficult search. Our trusty HP 9040 with an 8 tray sorter/mailbox has died on us...
Upon searching, I can't seem to find anything close to this. HP makes a sorter but mainly for an option to have a stapler. I've checked Lexmark and they have some options but not sure about the quality and if we can assign trays per user like we can with the HP.
The craziest part, is my preferred vendors are dragging their feet on researching and quoting options for me. I am doing my own searches but I might not blame them. It has been difficult...
Our needs:
Enterprise/Production Level Printing
Trays: Letter, Legal, 11x17
The most output bins we can get these days.Any suggestions?

No, he was going to go but work couldn't let him go at the last minute.

No, and he wasn't at Mangocon either.

Is there a way to fix it? Nobody makes printers like that anymore. HPs from that era, including the 42xx series, are absolute beasts.

@aaronstuder Your typo will live forever thanks to the quote button.

the concept of the many trays is just weird.
Good luck finding what you're looking for.

This. Or check out E-bay for refurbed equipment.

After a lot of searching today and two calls from vendors, it looks like meeting all of our requirements may be impossible.
We found several Lexmark printers that have stackable output bins but no 11x17. They both said there hasn't been much demand for what we had in our 9040.

Here is our, now dead (RIP) 9040...we lived by that output tray.

So you have few enough users to make the number of trays useful, OK.

Yes and in fact, we need 12 output trays if we could.
The biggest inconvenience (and productivity killer) for management the time spent employees will spend sorting drawings if we have to settle for one tray.

If the drafters are so valuable perhaps hiring a min wage person to sort things will pay for itself?
If you don't have 12 trays today, then the number of trays is clearly not enough. Lol
