A clearance sale at a Chemlsford stockist could put you in line for a bargain plotter.

Future Music is selling off the Roland DG DXY100R plotter for £399, a reduction of £300. The 100R has serial and parallel interface and puts out very detailed hard copy, drawing its single pen over A3 paper at 700mm a second.

Rick Cannell, peripherals manager for Roland UK, said the company would continue to maintain the plotter.

Taking the 100R's place are two more plotters, the £460 DXY-101 (a faster version of the 100-R) aimed at education and the £599 DXY 800 using eight colour pens, which is aimed at designers and art departments. These are already in stock at twelve dealers throughout the country, and although in short supply, can be ordered usually within a week.

Future Music is contactable on Chelmsford (0245) 352490.
