They're fascinating to watch, they create an output not quite reproducible by other technologies and, with the appropriate job sent to them, they teach patience :) A listmember passed this site to me recently. Not only do they sell pens for a lot of the plotters out there, they have a very handy cross-ref chart to match pens to plotters (and figure out which models are rebadged and might use a pen you already have.) http://www.thetestequipmentstore.com/plotter_pens_charts.htm I've got a Digital LVP16, as well as the equivalent HP model. The LVP uses the same pen as the HP, as do many of the plotters listed there. Those two are multi-pen models. I've also got a couple smaller HP models which are monochrome. And let's not forget the Commodore VIC plotter :) My problem with the multi-pen models is not pens, it's the pen carousels. I've identified the HP part # for them (apologize for not having it handy) but all sources list $sillyprices and are out-of-stock anyway. Anyone have a source for those? j
