Whether you need to print marketing announcements, blueprints, or some other collateral larger than a standard size, a wide format may be your best option. Similar to a wide format printer, a plotter is a large printer that uses a precise tool to create precise lines and vector graphics. It uses a tool like a pen, pencil, or marker to draw lines onto a page and produce sharp, straight, and accurate images.
