Does anyone use one of these printers for CAD? Any comments on how good they are with ADT 2004/5 or Revit?

I am considering the Designjet 130, as I would also use it for printing photos and rendered images, but I have heard that HP don't recommend it for CAD prints - they recommend the 100 model, but this is not as good for printing images and photos.

In my experience, if it can do a photo quality print then it can print line work. We have a 8550GN LaserJet and a 1055CM 36" plotter. HP is so in bed with Adsk we do not have any problems out of ether. We have printed 200,000+ on the 8550 and well over 5,000ft on the plotter. Not any problems with CAD or the images from our art dept that borrows both on occasion... So with all of that said, I would go with what is more important. Quality i.e. photos, or speed?
