Customer Reviews
Reviewed on 2007-01-10A good printer/plotter for the money I am still amazed at how the machine can keep producing. It is simple and easy to use. Just plug it in, do what the screen asks for and you are on your way.
I found one weakness. It is the belt. I live 100 yards from the ocean and think it is the salt in the air that starts it to deteriorate. I have replaced the belt on my original HP 500 twice in 6 years. I recently purchased another HP500 and will use the old repaired HP500 as a spare.
