There are good inexpensize plotter out there (<$500, B size). Just keep your
eyes open for the sales…
Thank you for the message. I know almost nothing about plotters, can you
please tell me what "B" size is? Though I have never actually gone "plotter
shopping" the only one I have ever seen advertised is the Epson HI80. Can
you give me any other brand names? Does anyone who sees this message care
to comment about good/bad luck with any "inexpensive" plotters. Thanks.
Barry
The epson HI 80 sucks. Dont buy it whatever you do. The only one that's any
good is worth saving up forget the Roland DXY-980. Both Draw and Draw plus
were developed in tandem with that particular plotter and it really is the best
value on the market.
The Apple 410 also works but any of those cheap plotters are like buying a
cheap used car – you spend less initially but only get pissed off in the long
run.

I can always reccomend the Gerber Scientific Instruments 4477 flat bed 192" x
60" at $185,000. It will do almost anything. (Sent with a chuckle)!
They have quantity discounts? Anyone interested in a group purchase? 8^)

Gerber Scientific Instuments, huh? Don`t they make baby food, too?

I`m a little confused by your last message. Did you say that the only one
(plotter that is) worth buying was the Roland DXY-980? Or did you say forget
it? Thanks.
Barry
Barry:
He said that the Roland DXY was the one to buy and that their (Aegis)
development was done with that as one of the plotters.

Thanks, Bill.
No, the Roland DXY980 is a good plotter but it's not the only one to buy. The
Epson plotter is a great little A size plotter. I've seen the B size Apple
plotters on sale for amazing prices as well. I will say that for some reason
it's HARD to use HP plotters with the Amiga, because of handshaking stuff.
Once you … 1. Get the HP taking XON/XOFF with the Amiga. 2. Or get a proper
cable for RTS/CTS operation. You will be o.k.
