What are the different types of plotters? Explain briefly. |
| Answer» A plotter is a printer designed for printing vector graphics. Instead of printing individual dots on the paper, plotters draw continuous lines. This makes plotters ideal for printing architectural blueprints, engineering designs, and other CAD drawings.There are two main types of plotters – drum and flatbed plotters. Drum plotters (also called roller plotters) spin the paper back and forth on a cylindrical drum while the ink pens move left and right. By combining these two directions, lines can be drawn in any direction. Flatbed plotters have a large horizontal surface on which the paper is placed. A traveling bar draws lines on the paper as it moves across the surface. | |
