Default Laser Printer Recommendation

I realized that my hp 1600 is good, but in the long run I'll need something that can handle 12x18 sheets. Any recommendations for Laser Printers that can handle this type of paper? I have my press, my site, source for shirts, will get cutter this week, all I need now is a new printer..please help! Thanks!

The general consensus for lasers is the okidata. Not sure about the printing sizes, but you should begin your search there.

TDP...I agree with Joe on the OKI pick, though there are many on here using other printers. The problem you run into on the size you specified with a laser is $$$. If that's no object there's a couple OKI models that can print around that size. I have the OKI 5500, it can only print 8.5 x 14 (legal,) but they can be picked up for a few hundred dollars refurbished (I think I paid $225.00) When you get into the larger format on OKI, you're looking at a couple grand.
