you have to turn off "connect nearby ends" because it doesn't do right angle corners for some reason, only smooth swoopy corners.

holy crap this plotter is lightning fast

it's an HP 7550, probably the fastest pen plotter ever made. 🤯 This is 50cm/sec. it can go to 60cm/sec with a ballpoint rather than a fiber tip pen.

@tubetime WHOA. I've never seen one that fast before - then again my only pen plotter was the tiny TRS-80 one that took like 6" wide roll paper

Mesmerizing 😍

Gotta put some markers in my wife's CriCut and see how it does.

@tubetime My dad is a mechanical engineer and had these huge A0 plotters at home. Fascinating machines but slow so he jumped on A3 laser printers when they became an option (late 80’es I think)

@tubetime That is *fantastic!* Also, hard to imagine them working all that reliably

@beige_alert amazingly enough they are old-school HP levels of reliability

@tubetime Yeah, great "little" machine, got one, too, which still needs a lot of TLC. One day....

But then again, 50 cm/s is rather pedestrian. I also have a DraftMaster RX (7596C), basically the last pen plotter HP made.

That one gets up to 110cm/s.

Putting a ball pen in there and see it fly is mesmerizing!
