Hi Brian,

    I have a HP 7475A and have been playing with the idea of plotting my PCB's. Would you be willing to part with a copy of your post processor for HPGL? I would also like to know what ink you used and did you just replace the ink in the plotter pen or what?

Thanks - Jack

  alienrelics <alienrelics@...>,

        Those two board pictures that you just posted were done by me on my
  plotter. I drew the board up in Eagle, then wrote a ULP to post-process the
  board into HPGL, this then gets run through another piece of software that
  talks to the plotter to allow double sided boards to be aligned.

        Doesn't it look awful? <grin> It's got quite a ways to go before it
  looks like some of your guys' boards. Maybe someday I'll have time to
  continue to develop the process.
