Phil, I have some of the answers at work, but not all the answers. "How Fast does it do Color? HP is claiming 6-7 min. for monochrome but does mean 4 passes=24-28 min. for a color plot?" No, it's not that long — I've a list of times for the different size plots. It does not do 4 passes, by the way. I am pretty sure that the inks, which are in adjacent cartridges, require only one pass. "Do the Drivers for Windows, or the RHPADI, support raster image printing (TIF/TGA) or does one have to buy the PostScript add-on for another $1500?" Don't know. We have the add-on though. "What Resolution(s) does it support for Raster Files Plots?" I think 300 dpi color, 600 mono. "Has anyone tried plotting color on Non-HP color paper?" I was told by an HP rep that black plots should be on non-HP Paper. Color plots are a little duller on regular paper. "Has Anyone Compared this model to the NovaJet?" Don't know. Nik (I'll get more info later, unless someone else leaps in).
