This is one of the most iconic pen plotters in history, known for its reliability, precision, and multi-pen capabilities during the 1980s. It was renowned for its ±0.1mm precision, which was groundbreaking at the time and remains impressive even today. It has a maximum speed of 400 mm/s, which was considered fast in its era. Multi-Pen Support: The HP 7475A supports 6 pens at once, allowing for multi-color plotting in a single job. This was a significant advantage for users who needed to create colorful designs without manual intervention. It speaks HP-GL, which is easy to generate. A few programs still support HPGL output, most notably Inkscape, KiCAD and DWGTrueView 2013. Several vintage HP test instruments also can plot a hard copy of their display graphics directly to it.
