Flatbed Plotter A graphics plotter that contains a flat surface that the paper is

Flatbed Plotter A graphics plotter that contains a flat surface that the paper is placed on. The size of this surface (bed) determines the maximum size of the drawing. Contrast with drum plotter. An Early Flatbed Plotter In the 1970 s, this Cal. Comp Model 738 large-format, flatbed plotter was an offline device. Data was delivered to it via magnetic tape. (Image courtesy of Cal. Comp, Inc. )

(a) Drum plotters (Figure 5. 3) consist of a drum, which can be rotated

(a) Drum plotters (Figure 5. 3) consist of a drum, which can be rotated in both directions, which has attached a continuous roll of paper or other drawing media. The pen(s) moves horizontally in both directions along a carriage to plot lines. Drum plotters vary in width from 25 to 150 cms, and output can be in up to eight colours. Their main advantage is that they can produce multiple plots without the need to feed paper and the plot length is flexible (up to 50 metres). Cost for a small A 4/A 3 desk-top pen plotter is about US$1 000 whilst an A 0 drum plotter is about US$5 000. The newest desktop pen plotters, and some of the larger free standing models, now use rollers (rather than a drum) to move the paper backwards and forwards.

����������� ������������������������� ������ 5. 4. 1 ��������� (Pen Plotter) ��������������� 1 ������ Figure 5. 3 Typical Drum Pen Plotter Pen (Line or Vector) Plotters This type of plotting is basically mimicking what a cartographer or draughtsman would be drawing by hand. There are two basic types of pen plotter - drum (or roller) and flat-bed, each of which has particular advantages. Both types utilise cartridge pens, which can be of variable colours or line width, and they both produce vector (or line) output which corresponds to grid co-ordinates held in the computer file to which they are linked. Maximum line drawing speed is about 100 cms per second and “intelligent” plotters can now arrange vectors in the plot file so as to plot them most efficiently. Some top of the range plotters are also designed to operate as precision scanners with a resolution of up to 400 dpi. A major problem with pen plotting has been the need for constant supervision in case pens clog or run out of ink, but unattended pen plotting technology is likely in the near future.

Houston Instruments multi-pen plotter, DMP 52 (1989) Image shows pen plotter with a 7 pen carriage, one of two carriages providing a 14 pen capability. This was the plotter used for all the work shown with the original Utrecht paper. Later plotters reduced the carriages to 8 pens. By the mid-90's my work rarely went beyond a 5 color palette 7550. The best pen plotter ever made.

7550 A pen plotter (1984). Computers are not very interesting to observe in action (many people say the same is true of computer collectors). In the relatively short history of the industry, the only products of exception have been the pen plotters. These mechanical marvels are nothing less than fascinating to watch. Although pen plotters were made well into the mid 1990 s, the 7550 was the best ever. The 7550 combines blinding speed (maximum 6 g acceleration) with a cut sheet feeder to make it the most productive plotter ever made. These machines are still commonly available on the second hand market. 5. 4. 2 ��������� (Ink-Jet Plotter) �������� � ������������� ����������

5. 4. 3 ��������� (Electrostatic Plotter) ����������������� � ������������������� ����������� Electrostatic Plotters These devices, of which there are several sub-categories, operate by using an array of nibs (electrodes) to selectively deposit charges on paper (or film) in the form of an image. Toner is then made to adhere to the charged areas, i. e. in a similar way to photocopying machines. Once the data has been converted to a raster format, images can be output from the plotter at 60 × A 0 mono drawings per hour, or 15 cms per second for A 0 colour output, i. e. much faster than any pen plotter. Output can be in mono or colour, at any size, and resolution is high at up to 400 dpi. For large format output on a daily basis, this type of plotter might be a realistic option. Although costs have been decreasing, these plotters may still be priced upwards from US$40 000.

5. 4. 4 ��������� (Thernal Plotter) ����������������� �������� 2 �� ���� Thermal Plotters Direct thermal plotters (Figure 5. 4) use local heating to warm thermo-sensitive paper, which is coated with two separate, colourless components. Once heated, these combine to produce a wide range of colours of fair quality. They can produce output, in raster format, up to 15 metres long and have a resolution of over 400 dots per inch. Although they are expensive (about US$12 000 for a A 0 wide body colour version) they have several advantages, e. g. no cartridges, toner or ink to consider, no feathering of lines due to ink absorption and they can run totally unattended. Output rates for a full A 0 map can be just 30 seconds, and the quality of this can equal that of photographs. Smaller A 4 and A 3 colour thermal printers are now available which utilise a similar technology and cost upwards of US$5 000. Figure 5. 5 compares approximate total plotting costs for an inkjet plotter (HP Design. Jet) compared with a direct thermal plotter (Oce G 9000). These lower output costs plus lower operator costs and faster output compared with inkjet plotters must be placed against the higher initial purchase price.

Plotter/Cutters - In 1987, Carlson Design originated the affordable, high-performance, large-bed rotary knife plotter/cutter. Since then, Carlson Design has been widely imitated yet unmatched in price, simplicity, and precision performance. Our time-saving systems plot and cut a wide variety of sewn goods including apparel, sails, furniture, canvas, inflatables, kites, gliders, upholstery, bags, and even boat hulls. We offer a range of interchangeable cutting tools from Rotary Knife to router for maximum flexibility. Since our systems are so easy to set up and use, you can order just the plotter/cutter for your own table or a turnkey installation. We offer complete vacuum tables, or plans, blowers, and tops for building your own. We believe in open software, offering our own Windows software for pattern design, digitizing, and nesting, or compatibility to the programs you already use.
