A device that draws pictures on paper based on commands from a computer. Plotters differ from printers in that they draw lines using a pen. As a result, they can produce continuous lines, whereas printers can only simulate lines by printing a closely spaced series of dots. Multicolor plotters use different-colored pens to draw different colors. In general, plotters are considerably more expensive than printers. They are used in engineering applications where precision is mandatory.
What is a Pen Plotter. Diagrams are not PHOTOGRAPHS pretty much a picture drawing is not a Photograph its a sketch.
A plotter is a large format printer used to produce oversized drawings, prints and images (ex. 30" x 42" architectural drawings)
A plotter cutter is used for creating high quality signs and printed materials. They are used by many graphic design firms and printing houses for their business.
it can print out anything big disadvantage: it's really big so it can take up a lot of space it is realy slow I think you're confusing a graphic plotter with a wide-format inkjet printer. They're both big and slow, but a plotter doesn't "print." It draws, with either a pen (which is used in CAD work--not graphics) or a knife for cutting vinyl, stencils or whatever. Wide-format inkjets print large things.
paper is fixed & only pens are moving horizontaly
A plotter is a graphics printer that uses a pen or pencil to draw images. A plotter cutter is a plotter in which the plotting pen has been replaced with a knife or a sharp blade.
The paper rotates on a drum under the pen while the pen moves across the drum.
True
A vinyl plotter cutter is used to draw on and cut out vinyl. When using the plotter part of the device, one would load a pen into the machine. When using the cutter part, one would load a knife into the device.
Yes. A plotter is a kind of printer but it uses a pen to draw shapes, diagrams, maps etc. Some plotters have a few pens so that the output can be in multiple colours.
a wide paper pen plotter
Prints large graphic drawings and also mechanically moves a pen over a large sheet of paper

Plotter is a special type of printer used to print graphical output on paper. It interprets computer commands and makes line drawings on paper using multicolored automated pen. The potter is capable of producing graphs, drawing, charts, maps, illustrations etc.

It is very similar to a pen plotter. Analog pen plotters were developed in the early 1950s and it is very likely that the inventor of the Etch-A-Sketch, André Cassagnes, who was an electrician, had seen pictures of them. Some baby-boomer hobbyists have turned an Etch-A-Sketch into a plotter by connecting computer-controlled stepper motors to the knobs.
A plotter is a printer that interprets commands from a computer to make line drawings on paper with multiple pens.It is a kind of instrument, usually driven by a computer, for drawing graphs or pictures. It is a computer output device which has to be used usually by moving a pen.
