Alas my DesignJet 220 is beginning to fade. I need to replace it with a plotter that plots about 100 sheets a month (I use it mostly for black and white). I've been looking at a Canon imagePROGRAF iPF605 for about $1100. I also know that low cost does necessarily mean the best value. Can anyone give me recommendations?
Guy -
I bought an iPF755 off of eBay last December to replace my old HP 450C. The Canon has been an amazing plotter - between the faster speed and the larger ink tanks it more than paid for itself after 3 months. If you can afford it you may want to look at a 36" carriage model instead of the 24" - a client I picked up a few years ago standardized on 30x42 sheets long before and I couldn't plot the sheets on my 450 (I had bought the 24" carriage 450). With the 36" iPF755 I can plot in-house now.
Good luck, and feel free to ask me anything else about my Canon!
