[ISLMA-Share] Poster Printers

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

HP DesignJet T520 for us too.  We looked at Variquest, but they use a
rebadged plotter (Epson, I think?) and were about $1,000 - $1,500 more than
just purchasing a plotter.  You get their support, a bunch of templates,
and a touchscreen PC for that price, but we didn't really need any of those.

The plain white rolls are relatively inexpensive, and you can also use
polypropylene if you need something more durable.  It prints shockingly
fast for an inkjet. Very happy with it so far.

As far as features, you might want to look for one that has wifi.  Makes it
easy to set up wherever you want it.  The T520 is easy to wheel around!
