My company is ISO of a new high quality plotter for small and large scale maps possibly with a scanner. We run AutoCAD Civil 3D 2015. We are considering an Epson SureColor T7270 Single Roll, possibly Dual Roll - 44" Printer and HP DesignJet Z3200ps - large-format printer - color - ink-jet. We have had multiple plotters that have all had some kind of issue with compatibility or upgradability. I just want one that I wont have to replace for some time. ANY suggestions?

I think you would be better off asking your question over at the AutoDesk Discussion Groups.  Not a lot of traffic here.  Another place worth considering is CADTutor.

We have a Canon iP760 color inkjet single roll (36 inch) with scanner that's done pretty well by us.  No real issues to speak of although a set of six cartridges will set you back almost $500 which I is kind of high.

Hi John, I will look into CADTutor. We have 4 plotters, my favorite was the Epson Stylus Pro7600 that we can no longer get drivers for using with AutoCAD. All of them have some kind of issue that makes them obsolete. And yes the ink cost is awful. Thanks for your help!
