[gis_info] HP Plotters

[CLINGMAN Bill W]

We are looking to replace our HP DesignJet 4500, and we are interested in hearing from anyone who has user experience with some of the newer HP models.  The HP models we are considering include the T520, T730, T930, T1530, and the T1300.  There is a wide range in price and specs.  We are no longer the "production shop" we used to be in terms of cranking out large-format hardcopy, as the world continues to evolve toward a less analog style of information delivery, so we probably don't need something as high end as the 4500 was in its day.  It looks like HP is moving away from 3-inch-core media to 2-inch-core, and moving away from multiple-printhead systems to more single-printhead systems.  Any anecdotal experience, insight, suggestions, or recommendations appreciated.

Thanks.
