Does anyone know of any good references on size D-E plotters?
A relative of mine that leaves abroad needs one for
drawing blueprints of plastic injection molds.
I don't know much about plotters let alone big-sized
ones. Any pointers or comments will be trully appreciated!

we just picked up an HP 7596 e-size plotter....its the new draftmaster II
and works wonderfully....it has roll paper or cut paper, carousels which
can set the pen speed/force automatically, is very easy to interface and
operate and if it is like the u's other gloms of hp plotters, it will last
for ever.... the only bad thing is the price.... upwards of 12K, 8-9 for
universities.
