We have a customer who seems to need to print on posterboard. Obviously too thick to print on a deskjet, for the past few years they've been using either an Epson Stylus 1520 or Epson Stylus 3000, depending upon availability when one broke. They refuse to buy new equipment with a warranty, instead they get refurbished equipment. The problem is the paper is too thick and tears up the inside of the printer. Each one will work for about a year and then die. It's getting very costly and I'm trying to find another option for them. I was looking at a few plotters, but they're extremely expensive. Not really worth it just to do a few posters in a month.

BTW -- the posterboard is about 1/8" thick and the dimensions are 14" X 22". Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
