FREMONT, CA (May 1, 1989) -- The GRI ProPlotter, a C and D-size pen
plotter designed and priced for the desktop CAD user, is available from
Gerard Research Inc. (GRI) of Fremont, California. Targeted for the
user of AutoCAD and other IBM and Macintosh based CAD and drafting
applications, the GRI ProPlotter is affordable for the single user of

economically priced at $1,995 suggested retail.
The ProPlotter's maximum drawing area is 22" x 34". The
ProPlotter can use a variety of plotting media including ordinary
bond, vellum and mylar film, with a choice of pen types and point
sizes.
