why is it so beautiful never wouldve guessed that vector based drawing looks so much better than just drawing in lines ( like an inkjet/laser printer )
i found a working HP 7475A plotter in the trash with some old pens, but the 6-pen carousel was missing... i'll eventually clean it and check out if i can cut vinyl with a Roland cutter
This would have made the ideal platform for a 403nm laser -> PCB plotter. Just send it HPGL files instead of G-Code. Pen-up command can operate a mech shutter or laser on/off. If I ever find one like this - that's what its going to be used for.
Fantastic, could watch them all day. They were in use in my first company for CAD in the mid 90's, then replaced soon after by a large inkjet plotter, Probably in a landfill somewhere now - shame, but at the time it is just old tech - to be trashed.
I was under the impression that the page shown was a DIN standard plot for testing pen plotters, but Google gave me nothing for searches like 'din standard pen plotter test page'. Anybody know about it?
Who could hate this video, thx for sharing!!
What a beaut. The noise definitely adds to its character.
I WANT IT EVEN THOUGH I WOULDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH IT ;O

1:05 Sounds like my 3d-printer :)
Same idea just using a felt tipped pen instead of a extruder.
doesn't have height adjustment besides lifting the pen
how can u made this? i want to make one for me.... how can i contact with u?
my email is mmd7626@gmail.com
So cool. Can these work with modern computers i notice they all use serial connections?
I want this! Period!
I had a HUUGE ass HP pen plotter I regret trashing two years ago.
What is the paper size?
A4 or A3?
Obviously A4 🙄

Thx for the demo buddy 👀
so musical! I wonder how much quieter it would be with modern stepper driver replacements
Dr Tune why even have a pen plotter at that point
Plotters are really cool. My father had a flatbed Roland just like that, I loved watching it go. Paid a lot more than $100 for it at the time too :-)
Actually good
Wow

Hi I have a Roland DXY 1200 but I don't really know how to make it work. Hoping you can help me

$100 for a ink ball printer? You must have been space starved
Whoa ! People had a very advanced technology back then. 8 years ago
was fürn geiles teil.

Really cool. What was wrong with it?
Has it got a pause button ?
I would have bought this for $100. Does anyone still make anything like this?

I just bought one at Goodwill for $12. Just keep a eye open and check at the dreaded eBay. Lots of fun to play with.
They were superseded by large format inkjets. We use an A0 Epson at work. At £4000 it was probably cheaper in real terms than this Roland was new.
@@MrDuncl Can somebody help me on the soft ware? I have one, it don't work on windows 10.
@@wardhobby I;m not sure which plotter / inkjet you are referring to. All I can suggest is looking at the manufacturers website.
@@MrDuncl The same like in the demo. Roland DXY-1250. Grts Ward.
are there drivers for this treasure?
If its serial then non needed.
