Used Roland Plotter/Pen Printers in Germany

Overview

Plotter/pen printers are large-format devices that use pens or ink cartridges to draw high-precision line work on wide media such as paper, film or vellum. Commonly used in CAD, GIS, architecture and engineering, they deliver crisp vector lines and technical drawings up to several feet wide. Used machines vary by interface, pen type and maintenance history, so check compatibility with your software, available replacement pens and service records.

FAQ

What should I check when buying a used plotter/pen printer?

Inspect the pen carriage and motors, belts and rails, media feed and cutter, firmware and interfaces (USB/Ethernet), and ask for service records. Verify the machine accepts your file formats and that replacement pens and parts are available.

How do I arrange safe shipping for a large plotter?

Use a specialty freight company experienced with wide-format equipment. Remove pens/cartridges, secure moving parts, pack in a crate or pallet with cushioning, label weight/dimensions, and buy transit insurance.

What regular maintenance does a pen plotter need?

Perform routine head/pen clean cycles, cap pens when idle, clean rails and rollers, check belt tension, calibrate alignment and media sensors, and keep firmware and drivers updated.
