A plotter is a very versatile tool. It is sometimes confused with a printer, but a plotter uses line drawings to form an image instead of using dots.
A common type of plotter is one that uses a pen or pencil, usually held by a mechanical “arm,” to draw lines on paper[paper?:paper sample maker cutting machine] as images are typed. The plotter may be a component that is added to a computer system or it may have its own internal computer to create layouts, diagrams, specs, and banners. A plotter is preferred over a printer in many commercial applications, including engineering, because plotter is far more exact.
Another type of plotter provides the ability to remove pens or pencils and replace them with other tools, like cutting blade. This type of plotter is frequently used for commercial sign[commercial sign?:Commercial Sign & Printing sample cutting machine /product-show-20116181044401.shtml] making. The plotters can generally cut both very tiny and very large images, cutting through the vinyl and leaving the paper backing intact, so the letters can easily be peeled away and applied to a surface.
