Low-end competition to HP plotters?
Low-end competition to HP plotters?
(OP)
I am looking at replacement options for our trusty 11 year old pen-plotter. So far I have found little besides the HP inkjet plotters in the sub $2500 range. Is there any real competition in this market? I don't require color (although it might be an interesting feature) since we simply use the large format to print manufacturing drawings.
I appreciate your input.

You can upgrade to color if needed. I only use black ink.
Have had not much luck with Encad holding up. The HP500 has color and you need add-on driver package for AutoCAD. The 430 comes with it but, you give up the color.
It remains to been seen if I made a good choice! Looks good in my office....hope its works out. It remains to be seen if their on-site warranty works as well.
You are right, there's not much out there on the low-end plotter market.
Good Luck.

Sorry to hear about the Encad, but good luck with your HP 430.
