Dear Andrew,

I'm very glad to hear that the machines are still out there and available.

How comes that the companies whose core business is to make plans don't have those? Why can't museums (musea?) afford them? I'm sure there are other plans (not harpsichord related) out there with bigger dimensions than 900 mm.

As for shops: here in Gent (Belgium) we have a school for architecture, design, textile design, ... There are _many_ shops for copying, plan reproduction, photo print, etc. What worries me is that none has the machinery I need.

Anyway, I'm glad to hear that these kind of copies are still possible. I'll inquire elsewhere to see what's within reach. Still for the future, I think that scanning plans is more intelligent than keeping a "mother" copy on paper.

All the best!

Chris.

Hi Chris,

Find another shop. The HP DesignJet T795 Printer does 1118mm which is a standard width (44 inches). This is a current model, not obsolescent.

Andrew
