Huh. It's cheaper (worse quality) but costs more money?
- cuckcuckspruce 9y agoI took it as cheaper to purchase, more expensive to operate.
- xelxebar 9y agoI was confused too, so looked up the prices. The pen plotter seems to be in the neighborhood of $225 USD [1] while the AxiDraw is $475 USD [2].

- dom0 9y agoVintage pen plotters (or X-Y recorders) are essentially zero-price items and tend to be built like actual tanks. The ones you can buy today (and afford) are way more expensive than them, yet cheaper (in quality). However, vintage pen plotters tend to not have USB plugs.
