How to choose a plotter?

Question

System administration

Hello!
Guys who worked with plotters and who have them in offices, give advice.
You need to choose a plotter for A0 color format, for printing drawings and documentation.
Tell me what you need to pay attention to when choosing a plotter and which models are better?
It’s just that choosing a printer is one thing, and there’s nothing complicated here, but there are probably many nuances in plotters. Give information or models which are good and economical!
In advance, a big plus to you in karma from me !!!

Answer 1

what good and economical!

If by economy you mean saving your strength, time, the absence of trouble and problems now and in the long term - take an HP plotter, refill with original ink and print on high-quality paper, and you will be happy!
I do not recommend saving other people's money.

Answer 2

I have a widescreen plotter, but it only cuts. Start from the functionality - I needed to immediately take spare knives and a tape for them, you should probably look at whether it will be easy to find printheads and spare parts, as well as how expensive consumables are

Answer 3

if you print a lot, it’s better to take HP and use only original cartridges and print heads, the latter very rarely change, if you only need to print in large volumes, I would advise seiko, from the buns the latter has models with A0 scanners and color scanning modules, prints from a4 to a0, roll feed

Answer 4

I can advise you the HP DesignJet T1530 PostScript Plotter, we have one in our office. And at the expense of saving, it will well save your nerves time and money, because it will allow you to implement the most resource-intensive tasks. Since it has a two-roll loading. It is important that the system allows you not to control switching from one roll to another, since the desired media will be selected automatically. Saves time and the fact that the employee who works with this device can send tasks remotely. If this particular plotter does not suit you for any parameters, then on https://hp-rus.com/plottery/ you can choose any other one, there are many different ones for any task.
