Title: Biggest and baddest plotter??
Post by: PDJ on October 28, 2004, 01:02:09 PM: We're looking at getting a new HP 5550 in 42" format. I need input from you guys. Are you using something better and/or faster?? We've got an estimate from a local rep for $11,895.

We currently have an HP 1055 and we'll be moving that to one of our remote field offices. There's a few drawings we have where that has become too slow for us. Basically, we're looking for a faster and larger plotter.

Hit me with your digits!!

I need this quick sooooo.. T-Bear, put down the donut, Dent, ummm, stop looking at that website, Mark, quit diggin in the back yard!!

The paper tray for catching the plots leaves alot to be desired so I took the one that came with the plotter (like the first day) and the one that came with the scanner, cut 'em up with bolt cutters and rebuilt a tray that would suit my needs ... The boss nearly lost his mind until I showed him how my design was much better ...

We just bought a Oce TDS400 - Works great - ours is B?W but you can get a color one. This is also a scanner.
