From: SHULL@WHARTON-10.arpa (Christopher Shull)
I have a mapping application that requires the production of
24" x 36" color maps. Does anyone out there in Laser Land have any
experience with or insight on the relative advantages of color ink
jet printers as compardd to pen plotters.
It occurs to me that the pen plotter would have higher resolution
and reasonable speed for line oriented maps. On the other hand, the
ink jet printer would be much faster for applications requiring area
fills and the curvy lines frequently found in character labels.
Does anyone have experience to support or reject these thoughts?
Can anyone offer other distinctions (or similarities) that can be
drawn between the two technologies? Are there other technologies
that preferred?
Please respond directly to me. I will summarize any significant
news and views to the list.
Thanks in advance,
Chris
