Wait shit I just use one as a printer for bigass drawings. I didn’t realize it used a pen

Most modern "plotters" are just bigass printers. The word used to only mean pen-based vector-drawing machines, but the overlapping use in architechture and engineering meant that as cheap inkjets supplanted the pen plotters they co-opted the name.
