Re: Large Format Plotter Selection Help

Good morning.

I used to buy based on price alone. Several several years ago I needed
a large format plotter which I said would be used only for draft check
plots of our engineering drawings. Usually we tend to go for the
cheaper ones. So I bought an HP250 as compared to a HP750C (top of the
line then). The difference was only around $2000 (small since this is
just the cost of 1 job then) but I said we won't be needing it for
image plotting. Several months later I jgot a job which required an
aerial photo output and the HP250 just won't do. So make sure that you
really do not need an image printer. If the difference is just several
thousand dollars then go for the high end one.

I would suggest the EPSON brand over the HP. Resolution at 2400 dpi is
very very good.
