Plotter recommendation?
I need to get a new plotter.
We normally use electrostatic plotters from Oce, but management wants a cheaper solution this time.
I've checked out HP & Encad (Kodak) and identified some potential models.
But are there other major players?
I need:
* Mostly B&W, but need to do some simple color now and then (not photos).
* Handle 36" (or larger) roll paper with automatic cutting.
* Connect by Ethernet. Must be built-in, or use a plug-in card (like HP's jet-direct)
* Support HPGL/2.
* Under $5,000
Any recommendations?

HP has done a great job in my experience.
Since you're researching,do consider that Canon has joined the game as well.
