Working in an AEC firm or other design-focused environment means that document and design printing is in constant demand. This fast-paced environment requires a printer that can quickly produce the prints you need—without sacrificing the quality your work demands. Plotter printers are versatile tools that are an integral part of many offices, and because of the high demand and evolving technology, a dizzying array of models is available.
Selecting the right one for your work environment boils down to understanding your needs and what options are available. When armed with the right information, you can select a plotter printer with nimble scanning abilities that will meet your business needs.
To dive into the facts about plotter printer scanners, let's have a look at some important details about how they work and what they can do for you.
Large format printers are indispensable in certain work environments. Plotter printers create images using computer commands in files in formats such as AI, PWG, and CDR. A scanner extends that capability, allowing the printer to reproduce hard copy or paper images.
