Half Size Plotter Recommendations.

[resullins]

My boss has finally decided to give in and buy a half-size plotter for my little home office. The largest size I would need to plot would be 48x36 half size (so 18x24).

 

I would need color, though most of the time I would be printing black and white.

 

I am running Windows 7, 64 bit. I've previously used HP products, and like them.

 

Does anyone have any decent recommendations? There are so many options, I not really sure what the differences are.

Didn't know you could buy 1/2 size plotters thought sizes were metric A4 A3 A1 A0, 11x7 11x16 24x36 36x48 Canon did a bubble jet years ago that did undersize A2 330x294 I know I have one.

You can get wide format 17" x 22" (ANSI C) or wide format 24" which will do the 18" x 24" (ARCH C), which usually runs the same price anyway.

 

I'm partial to HP myself, more common and easier to find a repair shop, my second choice would be Canon or OCE.

@SLW: Yeah, I'm looking at a 24"... just in case I get an architect that prefers 24x48... And I think my boss has decided on this one:
