I purchased this for my home, but it is good enough for small business. The plotter can print in color or black. Although the ink cartridges can be expensive and hard to find, I've found many on eBay. Being an older model, it may require some tlc and regular maintenance, many replacement parts can also be found on eBay. It is very user friendly. I had up and running in half an hour. Overall the plotter does a great job on large and small prints.
Large Format Hp Design Jet 450C meets and exceeds all necessary functions for home and small business. I am currently using this unit in my office, I had the unit shipped from Indianapolis to my home in Massachusetts. When the unit arrived on a pallet I put it together and installed all the necessary drivers found on Hp website. It was up and running in a snap. So far I have printed and total of 40- "24x"32 prints and it runs as expected with all normal printing functions. I would definitely recommend this unit to anyone looking to purchase a used large format printer such as this one.
The plotter exceeded my expectations. I read comments about how plotters get damaged when they are shipped however this unit runs as smooth as silk. It was supposed to be a 24" and I was given a 36". When it was shipped one of the mechanisms that hold down the paper was put in a different position for shipping.This secured the tray with ink cartriges from banging from side to side in transit. I did not understand how the thing worked with mechanism out of position. I hired some profesionals who figured things out. The plotter was as avertised with a color problem. They explained what needs changing but it still works fine. I would like expand my business in the engineering field and having your own plotter enables me to review our autocad drawings quicker. Saves time and money.
Very good plotter.

good plotter for the costs, the plotter is capable and dependable in most environments. The plotter is now old enough service support is almost none existent but good info on the web will allow most issues to be resolved by user.
