Both wide-format printers and plotters create high-resolution image replication, but the methods of reproduction the two printer types use differ vastly due to file format, materials and subject ...

Computer plotters are a type of output device commonly used for computer-aided design applications, to output large vector designs such as architectural blueprints. By moving a pen mechanically, ...

To keep track of a location in a two-dimensional space, two measurements are needed. Most of the time, we would naturally think to do this by the Cartesian method, measuring position along one axis ...
