    It seems to me that there is a setting in large format HP plotters for a
    "nesting" option.

    I have tried many times to set up nesting, with differetn HP designjets and wasted much paper in tring so. I found that, in general it is not a stable system.
    I would advice buying a 11x17 printer.
    Paper is chaeper, Prints are faster and do not need cutting...
    I you plot a lot of those sheets, even a laserprinter HP5500 could result in a much lower cost/page.
