Title: Buying a large Plotter/Printer - suggestions?
Post by: cebulba on February 26, 2014, 06:44:32 PM

Hi folks,

I have decided to buy a large 44" or at least 36" Plotter/Designjet.

Any recommendations? Anybody own one?

Hence the new ones are too expensive I was looking for a 2-year old model...wondering if it's really needed to have more than 600 dpi when it comes to arcade artwork?
Which models are used by your preferred printing partners (local shops)?

thx.

Currently checking prices and materials...stay tuned.
