-
Many people are puzzled by the differences between the plotter and the large format printer. They are both used to draw images on very large pieces of paper. But the applications of them are totally different. Today, we will help you distinguish the plotter and large format printer.

1. Features
  Plotters are a specialist type of printer which is able to draw high quality images on very large pieces of paper. Typical plotters can print images ranging from 24 inches wide to six feet wide. Typical wide format printers print from 13 to 19 inches wide.

   A plotter differs from a printer in that it draws images using a pen that can be lowered, raised and moved across the paper to form continuous lines. Wide format printers simulate lines by printing a series of dots.

2. The applications
   Plotters are used by engineers, architects and map-makers to draw plans of buildings, diagrams of machines or large scale maps. They can also be used for many other similar tasks.

  Wide format printers are often used by businesses that create signs, banners, posters and so on.

   3.Costs
    Plotters are often more expensive than the wide format printers. And the print speed of Plotters is much slower than the wide format printer. 

   Besides, businesses that print in large quantities may find it more economical to buy a printer, as opposed to paying a high fee each time they use a copy shop.

    So, the plotters are only suitable for blueprint or design drawings printing. If you just want to buy a printer for sublimation printing, you should choose the large format printer. They are affordable no matter you are doing the little business or the large business.
