printing vector graphics. In the past, plotters
were used in applications such as computeraided designs, though they have generally
been replaced with wide-format conventional
printers.

Features
1. They produce hard copy output.
2. They are used to produce drawings like
architectural drawing and engineering
applications in a more efficient way than printers.
3. A plotter uses pen/pens to draw images on the
paper instead of dots like printer.
4. It produces smooth and sharp drawing of
objects which is not possible to print using
printers.
5. It is more useful for graphical/drawing outputs
and less for text outputs

Laser printing is an electrostatic digital
printing process that rapidly produces high
quality text and graphics by passing a laser
beam over a charged drum to define a
differentially charged image.
