I recently purchased the epson 1280 to print my portfolio. It will also do 13x19 and says it will do it with full bleed (although I wasn't quite savy enough to figure that out). Just as I read in the online reviews, the quality is beautiful. My only complaint is about its paper feeding--I had to babysit the thing and manually feed my sheets one by one. HP and Canon have competitive models.

dont print it that big. employers will think you are a jackass. yours wont fit into their file and they'll toss it out. go no larger than 8.5x11.

otherwise, any large format printer will do 13 by X, so go that direction.

no larger than 8.5x11 if you are sending samples. you won't be consider a jackass if your portfolio is larger than 8.5x11 though. mine is 12x16 and has received nothing but positive comments.

you could go to a digital print shop. i would ask around and maybe take one sheet for them to test to see if you like the quality. if you are going to be printing a lot, you should seriously consider buying a decent printer. it will save you time and money in the long run.
