· Electrostatic plotter use inkjet cartridges to print
information onto paper, instead of using a pen to draw the required
information like pen plotters, making electrostatic plotters a
faster form of plotting.
As well, the quality of output is much richer than pen plotters,
as they use ink to produce an output instead of standard pen
ink.
Commercially, the uses for a electrostatic plotter are also far
more viable than using a pen plotter. For example, creating a large
poster would require both high quality and a small lead time (time
between printing initiation and outputting result). A pen plotter
can achieve both objectives, but electrostatic plotters can achieve
them faster and with more quality, making them ideal for commercial
printing.
