HP Designjet 430
E size
Black and white plotter, but does have a provision for upgrading to a color plotter
I have owned this plotter for 12 years. I bought it used from a local architecture firm and used it to plot the occasional landscape design project. In 12 years, I ran approximately 300 prints on it.
Due to the amount of use by the architecture firm, this plotter has been used extensively. I have had it serviced and repaired twice in 12 years. I have not used it at all in the last three years, so it is my assumption that it will need to be serviced again before being put back into any kind of regular use. Due to not using it for three years, the ink cartridges I have for it are dried up and I can no longer plot with it. It does boot up and my computer does recognize it (running Autocad 2013 on Windows 8).
