Hewlett Packard DesignJet and PageWide XL printers serve the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction markets (AEC) along with GIS and graphics applications in the corporate environment with the highest level of quality and precision.
Traditionally, there has been a perception that color is cost-prohibitive, but today's wide format printing equipment is shattering that notion with lower costs per square foot. Now, the value of color is seen through a lens that looks at total project cost.
Canon/Océ manufactures the monochrome Laser/LED plotter bearing the legendary PlotWave trade name and is known industry-wide for its durability and longevity.
Traditionally, Laser/LED printers use heat and pressure to fuse toner onto paper. PlotWave devices use patented Radiant Fusing technology that eliminates line distortion. And because there are 40% fewer moving parts than traditional Laser/LED devices, PlotWave devices enjoy a higher than normal up-time.
Did you know?...
Construction projects can experience up to 80% reduction in interpretation errors by using color draft and as-built plans? This has been shown to reduce failure costs by 3.9%.
