We have been using a Gestetner 1824ZS for about 2 years now. It has 18 X
24 paper as well as 11 X 17 & *.5 X 11. It is definitely self-serve and
we use it with a coin-op as well as a card connection. It hasnt been too
bad. The serviceman has to be called about once every 3 months but we
lease it and have service contract so are probably getting our money's
worth.
Hope this helps

The Illinois State Library Map Room has just the 11 x 17 option on a
book copier and the Xerox 2510 engineering copier (which I understand
they don't sell anymore). And I am the entire map room staff.

We are currently looking into purchasing a new photocopier
for Cleveland Public Library's Map Collection. We are now using
an older copier with 8 1/2 x 11 and 11 x 17 in. options.
We understand that at one time Mita manufactured a photocopier
that handled 18 x 24 in. paper. We couldn't locate it from the
selection on their homepage and are waiting for a call from
their sales office. Does anyone in Mapland have any experience
with such a photocopier? Or have any other suggestions for large
format without stepping up to an engineering copier?
The Xerox 2515 seems to be the engineering copier of choice
by map collections. We were looking for something a little
more "self-serve" since our staff is small (space is also
a problem).
Any helpful hints appreciated.
