Hi
I am sorry if I am in a wrong place, I am looking to find A0/A1 flatbed pen plotter (age not important).
I will be great full if you can help me to find one in North West of England.
Because I have tried every where with no luck
Thanks in advance

Good thing...

If you can find one it's bound to be old and hard to get working. You might try e-Bay or similar auction/classifieds sites in the UK. Let us know if you have any luck. I always wanted to fool around with one of those (and the Mutoh pencil plotter as well).

Good luck.

The old ones don't have the language or connectors for modern computers.....

I am just in the process of acquiring one for a ArchiCAD-image-to-pencil-on-watercolor-paper project.

If price is no object, you should look at pattern cutters that have all kinds of add-ons.

For instance, when I am in Australia next month, I'm going to see these guys:

about their IKON product.

But why do you need it to be a FLATBED? How thick and heavy is your paper? I will be working on heavy paper and card - I have two scroll-type plotters that work fine on lighter paper.
