[PADG:1863] photocopiers

[Olivia Primanis <primanis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Greetings,

Does anyone know of a photocopier that has the book edge feature and 
a 17"x 17" platen?

The Ransom Center would like to replace their Xerox- Bookmark 35 
photocopy machine, which has a 17"x 17" platen. To quote the head of 
our Reading Room: she would like "a new machine that will make 
flawless copies, quickly, in color, showing all nuances of the paper, 
front and back, reduction and enlargement capabilities, and not 
damage the material at all."
To date, she has found that only Xerox and OCE' are currently making 
photocopiers with the book edge feature; but, the newest models have 
platens that are 11.5" x 17" --- too small for our needs.
Thank you for your suggestions.
