I have yet to meet a graphic intensive program that doesn't require this, in order to have sane printing times free of errors.
That said HP Designjet 5500, 8000, 10000 models are quite common amongst GIS shops I know. Although my suspicion is that the Epson plotters could be quite good I never managed to convince a government shop to buy one because they had a contract in place with HP already (Even if the HP sucked) Alex _______________________________________________ Qgis-user mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
