Plotter Pros

Open during business hours but no one is answering the phone. I’ll keep looking for a place that can manage the most basic of tasks.

Plotter Pros has the best customer service I’ve ever experienced. I’ve been to Staples, Office Depot, FedEx, all the big copy & print chains but Plotter Pros has by far the best service and prices. I plotted a 32×40 floor plan with Peter and he got the job done perfectly. The quality of their prints is vector clean. And the prices? Even better! 2 prints in color of that size cost me less than $ 20. FedEx was estimating around $ 70. Plotter Pros is my #1 choice for large size printing.

Plotter Pros is the best on a number of issues!
I thought I had earlier left a due review, but see I have not, so here is a double review of 5 stars! I have an older HP 430 plotter that needed help. I talked to Peter and his crew and it was best I take the plotter in for service. They got the plotter back up and running for me at a very reasonable price. Since then I purchased a used (rebuilt) HP 750 color plotter. It has been several months and I forgot the issue I had with the 750, so they came out to take a look. They didn’t have the parts handy, so they took the plotter back to the shop, and once again Peter worked his magic to get the HP 750 in good working condition. Today I had other issues with the cartridges and tried calling them just after 5pm when they normally close. Peter answered the phone and was friendly and helpful walking me through potential issues and how to hopefully resolve them. After multiple times of removing the cartridge, the HP 430 finally decided I was ok and it went back to work like new. If you have any plotter issues, I suggest calling Plotter Pros first, and don’t waste your time with other plotter companies.

These guys delivered in my time of need. My HP 650C finally decided to retire during a busy time in my schedule. Needless to say with all the deadlines in queue, I need a replacement ASAP. Called Peter and he mentioned they had the next generation HP wireless plotters available. Made arrangements and picked up the next day. Can’t say anymore, 2400 dpi, wireless, 24″ wide format, print from any portable device for $ 900. SOLD!!! Also got the 1 year warranty extendable to 6 years…

In early November, I spent a significant amount of time looking for a place that could make 11×17 digital prints and could copy some 11×17 diagrams.
On November 4, 2014 I found Plotter Pros. They were and are capable of doing both. The service was prompt, and the quality everything that I hoped for.
There are two very friendly dogs there, just a heads up if you have allergies.

This place is great. Our church has a 44″ printer and plotter pros keeps us well supplied. They share great advice to help us keep our printer running and help us understand our options what paper/​vinyl we should be using for whatever the project is. They keep good records and are super friendly and easy to work with. Glad I found them!

First time visiting this place to print out a final project for a design class. Printing time was so fast at a surprisingly good price! 13 bucks to print out an 2 8×20 brochure pages. The people working there were really nice and friendly. And they have cute dogs too :)

Agree with the other folks. This place is awesome and the owner peter is great to work with. Not the cheapest but u can be guaranteed to receive a quality product.

This is hands down the best printer I’ve ever worked with. We needed to print several large posters with detailed specifications, and Peter printed them perfectly. He was incredibly knowledgeable, and so easy to work with. Everything was labeled and ready to go when we stopped by to pick everything up. Very reasonably priced, too — would definitely recommend working with them!

Love coming here for plotter paper. Always very helpful.

I’ve been coming here for all my large format prints. The owner and his dog is super nice and chillax. I’m never using FedEx kinkos again

I am a design student so I appreciate the affordable print prices, quick printing, and great quality. Recommend to everyone! Go and support your local printer!

Just an FYI, though PP offers printing services, it’s not the kind one would use for special events, e.g. wedding invitations. I gave PP a call to inquire about services and Peter was super nice on the phone and referred me to two other companies offering the services I needed.

As a photographer and a former printer, I’ve always admired the personal attention to detail that goes into creating a print. Large prints are especially difficult in that the image is magnified that much larger. When I heard that Plotter Pros does good work, comparable to that of a fine art print lab, I had to try them out. I was extremely happy with the results. Bernie G.

Hands down the best service you can get from a print shop. I needed two 11×17 photos printed and were done super fast. I also asked Peter if he offered document scanning services. Although he wasn’t able to accommodate, he referred me to 3 other businesses for the service i needed.
Top notch business.

If you’re a graphic design student at San Jose State, you have to print here. I only ever print at Kinko’s or anywhere else if Plotter’s isn’t open. Peter is very helpful and the quality of the print is beautiful. And it is so inexpensive!
I pity the fool who goes to Kinko’s when there’s Plotter Pros.

Plotter Pros rules! I first became associated with Plotter Pros when my older HP plotter (24″ roll max) needed servicing. I was so amazed with the awesome service that I called them to discuss purchasing a new (bigger and better and much-​needed) plotter.
Peter at Plotter Pros listened to my needs and addressed my concerns and made a recommendation. It took me 6 months to convince our business owner to make the purchase, but it was well worth the effort! We’ve had the new HP DJ500 that Peter recommended for probably about 4 years now. It has worked flawlessly. It costs less to operate than our previous plotter, has way superior quality and saves us time like I never imagined. This plotter has paid for itself a few times over at this point and reduced my stress level.
It’s also so easy to use the plotter. Even the engineers can operate it!
Peter has subsequently spent time on the phone with me helping trouble shoot various issues (not related to the plotter hardware) and helping me make the best decisions for my plotting needs. I purchase all of my paper from Plotter Pros. With the fantastic service I get from Plotter Pros, I won’t even consider another vendor — no matter what the price.
I work for a geotechnical engineering firm — not an architect or design firm. Our graphics are limited in sophistication and need, but they go out the door representing our firm in a polished, professional style.

I love Peter! He is, seriously, one of the most sincere and wonderful person I have ever met. He was helpful in every sense and you get «more than more» what you pay for.
His range of printers are awesome from Canon to HP large format printers. Amazing Quality. I drive down from SF each time I have to print something. So worth it.
LOVE!

I bought a used HP Designjet 650C, hmm, must have been six years ago or more. It was old then, but Peter said it was a workhorse and was good for a long time yet.
I just upgraded my operating system to OS X 10.6 the other week, then found the plotter didn’t work. After a bit of research online I read to my dismay the new OS wouldn’t run the 650C at all.
Refusing to believe I had to buy another $ 2000 plotter, I called Peter to see if there was any way I could run it off an old machine. Well Peter walked me through all the steps I needed to get ol’ Workhorse up and running again — not just from another computer, but from my main machine — defying all the gurus online!
This was over two phone calls and nearly an hour of his unpaid time, yeeeeaars after I bought the thing, mind you, and without a hint of cajoling me toward buying a newer machine.
Thank you Plotter Pros!
