try this http://www.ebay.com/itm/HP-17848P-Paper-Plots-Fiber-Tip-Plotter-Pens-7mm-New-Sealed-/111280577549 or http://www.draftingsteals.com/catalog-plotters---plotter-supplies-plotter-pens-fiber-tip-plotter-pens.html I have both the Roland DXG-1100 and an HP 7475A plotter. info on the HP7475A here http://www.hpmuseum.net/display_item.php?hw=74 I can watch them work for hours at a time. I use them for real work from time to time. |

Interesting. I have the SAME plotter. I took the empty dried out pens that came with it, cut of their nose so they were hollow and I could use them as holders for 'standard' felt pens. Worked quite well. I used it once or twice to draw PCB layout in etch-resist ink on a PCB, but to be honest, I have not used it for a while, usually I use stripboard (like that better then single islands) and it is in storage as I had to 'cleanup' up my house to put it for sale. Once I get it back out, we should exchange programs and ideas to use it. |

Thanks for the replies and links. Not wanting to hijack "rolandpenplotter's" thread but are you or anyone using plotters for PCB artwork? Can a moving paper plotter be used for PCB work? Can PCB be fixed to a medium that the plotter can manage or should we only consider x-y machines? |

Feel free to hijack ( the OP is no longer a member) although you might be better off creating a new thread so you can make the subject more descriptive of what you are looking for. |

No longer a member? He got kicked out or something? Or maybe he just switched handle? rolandpenplotter is a bit 'specific' as user handle. --- Quote from: tautech on February 21, 2014, 10:23:54 am ---Thanks for the replies and links.

With some success, it was why I bought the thing (2nd hand, for peanuts). I have also been thinking of converting an inkjet printer for this. Especially one of the ones that can print on CD's and have a 'slot' for the CD must be convertible. After all, a CD is about the thickness and stiffness of PCB. But I did not do anything with that idea though, already have the plotter now. |
