Re: Printer suggestions ( AutoCad )

I bought a HP 5000GN with 5000 sheet 8 1/2 x 11 drawer and a 250 sheet
11 x 17 drawer used with less than 13000 sheets total usabe for $400
with nearly empty print cartridge.  I traded the cartridge and $100
for a recycled one.  Hard wired into my network as a printer that all
the computers can use...that's the reason for the 500 sheet
drawer...office printer.  Prints sharp, dark lines.  Picked it up from
Ebay a couple of years ago.  I also have a HP 750C 24 x 36 plotter I
picked up from Ebay for less than $1000, replaced the cartidges, put
in a wireless printer ****t and use it for some of the larger drawings.
The other office printer (not used much) is a TI color
printer/fax/copier/scanner that I sometimes use for smaller color
prints that is also a network printer.
I'd suggest that you look at laser printer.  If you really need color.
there's atabloid  Lexmark 1200N laser printer on Ebay with a "buy it
now" of $399.00 + $195 ****pping; a HP 5500N wide format with a "buy it
now" of $949+free ****pping.  OR do a plain laser..HP Laserjet 5000N
Tabloid with a "buy it now" for $299.95+69.95 ****pping
A black and white tabloid printer will take care of most printing
projects I have.
