That's what I thought but I've seen people
do it. One of the classes at
my unverisity used some kind of knife in a HP plotter to make strip lines
on a PCB for microwave work. Apparently they had been doing it for a while
and it worked successfully. I wasn't interested in it at the time so I
didn't pay attention to what they were doing and I don't even know which
plotter they used except that it was a large flat bed HP plotter.
As far as I know, the 9872 family (including the 7220 and 7221) were the
biggest and last flatbed plotters HP ever made.
Presumably for microwave work they didn't need to cut very large boards.
