Description:

The Draftmaster I and II replaced the 7585B and 7586B. The DraftMasters were the most advanced pen plotters ever made by HP. They handled media sizes up to E/A0 size and plotted at 60 cm/s with acceleration up to 5.7g. The DraftMaster II (P/N 7596A - $10995) also plotted on continuous rolls. The DraftMaster SR/RX series (P/N 7595B/C, 7596B/C), introduced in 1990 added HP/GL-2 language capability and a faster plot speed of 110 cm/s. The DraftMaster MX (7599C) added a 20 MB hard disc to the DraftMaster RX roll-feed model. Click here to view a 6 second video of the DraftMaster in action (1.0 MB).
