OT: what's a good printer for technical drawings?

Hello,

I am looking to buy a color laser printer in the $500-2000 range to print technical drawings. Could someone recommend a model that prints sharp line art and fonts, and also does automatic two-sided printing?

1)The drawings will be black and white, line art, fonts, etc. 2) Color will be used sometimes, but doesn't need to be "ultimate" quality 3) Want the lines to be really sharp 4) Don't want spurious printer spray dots (needs to be very "clean") 5) Does not need to be super fast (anything 8 pages per minute or higher for basic printing is fine) 6) Want the black ink printing to be dark and sharp 7) Want the cost-per-page of priting to be competitive, but doesn't have to be the lowest (most seem to be about $.03 per page for 5% black and white printing that covers 5% of the page) 8) Reliability very important 9) Space, noise and power consumption are not priorities 10) very important to print two-sided without having to re-feed the paper 11) 8.5x11 printing only, no need for oversized paper or cardstock 12) would prefer the option of a large capacity paper tray, but not necessary

Thanks for any suggestions. It's tough to guess at this stuff.
