Can anyone suggest a 24" printer for a small office?
We are a very low volume office, so I do not need a big expensive machine.
I had a HP Designjet 130 but it is not printing in color.
As it is out of warranty HP will not even tell me how to do a test print and head cleaning.
I would like to consider other than HP.
Thanks

I recently purchased an HP T520 I believe. I paid around $1700 for it. I highly recommend it.

Here is a link:Plotter

The DesignJet 130 is a good little plotter for a low volume need. If a head cleaning does not work, you can easily replace a head for about $50 each.

The printheads need replacing fairly often, can't remember how much so. If you will download the manual, it will tell you how to run the diagnostic utility, and it will tell you what's wrong with it maybe. The heads are about the same price as the ink cartridges. I would start by replacing the cartridges and heads, and that'll probably fix you up if you're willing to spend about $300 or so on it. I've got a 100, and I've changed the heads 3 or 4 times in the past few years, and I don't use it much.
