G'day all,
I've currently got an HP Designjet 5000, which I bought in a non-working condition for $50. I'm pretty handy when it comes to machines of this nature, so I've managed to figure out what's wrong with it...the main board. Normally I'd stick it out and get it up and running, but the main board is just too expensive to justify it.
There's an Epson Stylus Pro 9000 for sale just around the corner from me, and I'm contemplating selling the Designjet and getting the Epson. The Epson is in much better condition, and comes with a whole bunch of inks and paper rolls. My only concern is that the Epson is almost 10 years old now, and I'm not sure how the quality will stack up compared to more modern printers.
On paper, it looks pretty good: 6 colours, 720dpi, etc. Has anyone here ever used a 9000? Any reasons not to get it?
Cheers everyone!
