Plotter
Transcript: Braille Embosser is an impact printer that renders text as tactile braille cells. Using braille translation software, a document can be embossed with relative ease, making braille production efficient and cost-effective. As with ink printers and presses, embossers range from those intended for consumers to those used by large publishers. Braille embossers usually need special braille paper which is thicker than normal paper. Some high-end embossers are capable of printing on normal paper. Pen plotters print by moving a pen or other instrument across the surface of a piece of paper. Can draw complex line art, including text. It offered the fastest way to efficiently produce very large drawings or color high-resolution vector-based artwork. essentially become obsolete, and have been replaced by large-format inkjet printers and LED toner based printers Plotter Is a computer printer for printing Vector graphics. It draws picture on paper using a pen. It is used to print designs of ships, machines and building plans. Plotters are used primarily in technical drawing and CAD applications, where they have the advantage of working on very large paper sizes while maintaining high resolution. Cutting Plotters Use knives to cut into a piece of material (such as paper, Mylar or vinyl) that is lying on the flat surface area of the plotter. has become popular with home enthusiasts of paper crafts such as card making and scrap booking. Early pen plotters, like the Calcomp 565 of 1959, worked by placing the paper over a roller that moved the paper back and forth for X motion, while the pen moved back and forth on a track for Y motion. Another approach, is the Computervision's Interact I, involved attaching ball-point pens to drafting pantographs and driving the machines with motors controlled by the computer Cutting Plotters A number of printer control languages were created to operate pen plotters, and transmit commands like "lift pen from paper", "place pen on paper", or "draw a line from here to here". Three common ASCII-based plotter control languages are Hewlett-Packard's HP-GL, its successor HP-GL/2 and Houston Instruments DMPL The hardware is identical to a traditional plotter except that the ink pen is replaced by a very sharp knife. The vinyl knife is usually shaped like a plotter pen and is also mounted in ball-bearings so that the knife edge rotates to face the correct direction as the plotter head moves. Plotter Use knives to cut into a piece of material (such as paper, Mylar or vinyl) that is lying on the flat surface area of the plotter. has become popular with home enthusiasts of paper crafts such as card making and scrap booking. It is used for cutting non-rigid and porous material such as textiles, foam, or leather, that may be too difficult or impossible to cut with roll-fed plotters. Cut much thicker and heavier materials than a typical roll-fed or sheet-fed plotter is capable of handling. Vinyl Cutter Reporter: Allan Jay B. Bagay Braille Embosser History Used by professional poster and billboard sign-making businesses to produce weather-resistant signs, posters, and billboards using self-colored adhesive-backed vinyl film that has a removable paper backing material. Colors available are generally limited only by the collection of vinyl on hand. Typical vinyl roll sizes are 15-inch, 24-inch, 36-inch and 48-inch widths. ZUSE Plotter Z64 Static Cutting Table
