Plotters and types of Plotters

Plotters and types of Plotters Points : plotters and types of plotters, types of plotters, pen plotters, electrostatic plotters Plotters Plotter is a special kind of output device that prints graphics on papers, which includes drawing, graphs, making maps, plotting engineering drawings and machine component. Plotters differ from printer in that they draw lines using a pen. As a result, they can produce continuous lines, where as printers can only simulate lines by printing a closely spaced series of dots. Types of Plotters: Plotters can be of two types.
Pen Plotters
Electrostatic Plotters Pen Plotters: Pen plotters have an ink pen attached to draw the images, and electrostatic plotters work similarly to a laser printer. Pen plotters are further divided into two types: Drum Plotter and Flatbed Plotter. Electrostatic Plotters: An electrostatic plotter produces faster image by charging the paper with high voltage. This voltage attracts toner, which is then melted on the paper with heat. This type of plotter is fast, but the quality is generally considered to be poor when compared to pen plotters.
