We have a need to digitially print on 17x22 stock with variable data. The imaging would be in all black. Any suggestions on what device can do this?

That's a tough one VIPPGuy. Your post is 8 mos old; what did you eventually decide on, if anything? I work for Ricoh and the largest size our monochrome cutsheet boxes can do is 14x18", which is probably typical, although I'm not up to speed on all the other companies' output specs. If you had enough volume to justify a continuous form digital printer such as the IBM Infoprint or Oce Variostream you would be able to go 19xwhatever. VDP of course wouldn't matter but you'd need to convert VIPP to something else, like PlanetPress, or just output Postsript from VIPP.
