    Default recommended plotters

    Hello,
    I work for a small company out in the boonies of Maine. We do A LOT of plotting and have been using a HP Design Jet 500 for years (I have no idea where it was purchased). It's getting cranky so we are probably looking at getting another plotter by year's end. We don't need a high end plotter; just something that will do nice clean line work in color. We never print photographs, etc.; it's all line work, i.e. drafting.

    I'm looking for plotter recommendations. It has to be 36" wide.

    Thank you,
    Richard

    I've been using HP Designjet plotters for practically the entire time I've used CAD, and the past 3+ years with HP's T7100/T7200 have been miserable.

    They've had to come out to replace parts on the T7100 so many times, that they gave us a T7200 to rectify the issues, only for that to start having issues on day one - I'm currently negotiating how HP is going to pay for terminating our lease, and pay for the removal of this steaming pile of puss that is the T7200.

    What is your budget?
    That will narrow it down significantly.
