[Sigia-l] Fun with output - Who uses a plotter?

[Erin Malone]

Dave -

We use both 11x17 color laser and large HP plotters here at AOL/Netscape.
The plotters allow for full size large maps to be created. They have a
presence and are a good size tool to hang on the walls for team discussions.
There is usually enough room to write directly on the screens as well. The
size is impressive but it also means you can work to scale.

What type of compatibility issues are you concerned about for clients?
