Plotter Basics
A plotter, or wide/large format printer, allows architects and graphic designers to print out blueprints, signs, topographical maps, and banners. While a printer may express these images as a series of dots, a plotter uses vectors to draw high-quality graphics according to computerized information.
Plotters are available from dealers and a network of licensed resellers. Independent resellers, such as the Reprographics Services Association (RSA), assist with installation and will be the focal point of contact when a customer has problems or questions with their purchase.
It takes about six to eight weeks to purchase a plotter from a vendor. You need to carefully review your needs with multiple vendors before you make a purchase.
