Ste1978 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 The company I am doing work for have ask me to look into updating their plotter. They mainly use the plotter for single line Autocad drawings, black and white. However, we are doing more and more presentation material which involves nice colour renders up to A0 size. I was hoping someone could point me in the direction of the best printers and what specs I should be looking at. The printer would idealy need to be fast. We may look into purchasing one, but would not rule out hiring with a service contract etc. Any ideas? What printer do you guys use for A0?

BigDog Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 We just got a Canon IPF755. It will do color and black & white and up to A0 sizes. It will except 2" & 3" core and 500' per roll. The specs do not give me the feed speed but it much faster than the HP we where using. I know it is not as fast as a wide format machine like a Kip or Oce, but it works for us.

jammie Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 We use an OCE TDS600. We've had it for a number of years with very little downtime. It has some great features including a scanner & automatic folder. For colour plots we have a seperate inkjet printer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ste1978 Posted April 20, 2012 Author Share Posted April 20, 2012 Ok, the printers we have been recommended are as follows.. Oce CS 2436 (£2245) Oce Colorwave 300 (£7999) Cannon iPF750 (£2200) So far these are what I have quotes for. I'm sure all 3 will do a job but it is finding the balance between speed, quality and price which is something I don't want to rush into! I've heard good things about HP in terms of reliability so will be looking into those too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
