Large format printers or plotters are widely used for printing from Computer Aided Design (CAD) applications in AEC and Manufacturing, where they have the advantage of working on very large paper sizes (DIN A2 up to A0) while maintaining high resolution.
Colour and B&W large format printers
The large format printer that prints B&W applies toner on paper via LED technology. The big advantage of toner is that it is water resistant, enabling the drawings to be used outdoors.
Océ B&W large format printers
The colour printing inkjet technology was developed and introduced for large format printers. This made it possible to expand the typical large format applications with colour maps and posters from Geographical Information Systems (GIS), Business Graphics and Point of Sale (POS) workflows.
