What plotter works well with Archicad

[Anonymous]

We are considering purchasing a plotter for our 5 person office. Are there any plotters that work well with Archicad & Leopard? We are currently considering the Epson 7880 and 9880. Any suggestions on a good plotter?

Actually the HP Designjet T1100ps IS one of thier current models. I've already spoken to HP and they have given me a quote. Here's the link if your interested... http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/us/en/sm/WF25a/18972-18972-3328061-12600-3328078-3338887.html

Our only hesitation at this point is we have a bad history with HP's technical support. But this printer just seems to fit our line print & high resolution's for photos also.

We'll see.

have you pulled the trigger on this one yet?

also

did you go for the postscript option... and what... if any... are the advantages of having the PS built in for printing out construction documents etc etc

thanks

Well we've been using the plotter for about a week now and everything is smooth sailin'. Easy to setup. Instructions were straight forward. True to its claims it prints FAST and without hiccup. So far we haven't had to do any high resolution prints yet so I can't yet comment about that.

We have printed from Archicad, Sketchup & Adobe Illustrator. The printer is setup on our network for 5 users, plugged it right into our Airport Extreme Router...voila, everyone had access. We purchased it directly from HP, they delivered it in 3-days FREE shipping. We paid $6,592 for the 44" ps model.

Of course I couldn't officially recommend it until after we've used it for sometime but so far we are VERY happy with its performance.

Great BUY!!!
