Abstract
In the process of printing images, a high-quality plotter printer is required to obtain better printed images. This causes the costs incurred to purchase a plotter printer become even higher along with the quality of the printout. In addition, the use of original plotter printer ink is significantly more expensive than that of the non-original ink. Therefore, this paper proposes a pen based computer plotter printer design using the CoreXY framework. This framework is based on a 2D in-axis motion control technique using a single continuous belt for both axes. To evaluate the performance of the proposed design, the level precision for vector and raster modes are measured using the Mean Absolute Percentage (MAPE). Based on the results of precision measurements, it was found that the printer prototype designed to produce high-precision images with affordable pen ink costs and can process digital instructions from a computer using Computer Numerical Control (CNC).
Highlights
A printer plotter is a tool for presenting data from a computer to its users
Based on the results of precision testing carried out in vector and raster modes, it was found that the Mean Absolute Percentage (MAPE) percentage value for measuring line length precision in vector mode is 58.38% and in raster mode is 56.32%
This shows that the MAPE value in vector mode is greater than in raster mode
Summary
A printer plotter is a tool for presenting data from a computer to its users. The data source usually comes from an image or text documents. This printer ink is more expensive than human blood which is in the top ten for $1,500 per gallon [1] This is the major factor of the widespread use of non-original inks. This paper presents the development of a plotter printer using CoreXY framework where the control of the driver motor maintains the pen movement in the X and Y axes by utilizing stepper motor rotation. This printer is expected to be able to produce good image quality at an affordable cost and be able to process logical instructions from a computer
