This old super smooth original HP plotter paper is still relatively easy to find on eBay. We use these sheets when we need a really nice smooth surface to plot on without excessive bleed. They are available in A and B sizes/US Ledger and we recently acquired A3 size. This size came in a larger box containing 250 sheets, instead of the 50 sheets bundled in B-size (11 x 17″) that we already had.
The box also includes a nicely designed instruction sheet with best practices. Here is a scan for you fellow enthusiasts to enjoy as well.

We have welcomed another big pen plotter to the fleet. The notorious HP 7596A DraftMaster II. In this post I’ll cover the whole process from buying an in unknown working state vintage plotter, hauling it back home, to getting it ready for some serious production work.
We believe every city tells a story. But what if you could not only read that story but feel it? Today, we are thrilled to launch Plotopia, our newest initiative that transforms digital map data into tangible works of art, drawn line-by-line by our collection of vintage pen plotters.
We got some new gear. Really nice old sturdy gear from 1988. We were having a blast with it while testing and fixing problems.
Note: We’re not interested in ads, spam and other productivity undermining emails.
