A plotter is a type of printer that produces high-quality graphics and drawings by using a pen or other writing instrument. Unlike traditional printers that use inkjet or laser technology, plotters create precise lines and curves, making them ideal for technical drawings, architectural plans, and engineering designs. They can handle large formats, allowing users to print oversized documents. Plotters are commonly used in industries such as architecture, engineering, and graphic design. They can work with various materials, including paper, vinyl, and film. Modern plotters often come with advanced features like automatic cutting and the ability to print in multiple colors, enhancing their versatility and efficiency.
