I am preparing to purchase a new plotter and would appreciate any feedback on ease of use, setup and most important, compatibility with Pro E. I will need to print color line drawings up to E (34" X 44") size. I print less than 50 drawings a month. I prefer a role feed with the option to make longer prints. This will be on a network. I am currently considering the the HP Designjet 500 and the 800. At this point I am leaning towards the 800 because of the increased memory and the network interface is built in as opposed to using a jetdirect on the 500. Whichother plottersshould I be looking at?
We now have a HP design jet 430 that is black and white only, prints D size and is not ProE friendly at all.
Let me know about your plotter experiences.
Thanks, Eddie</DIV>
