NEW RUGGED A0 PLOTTER FOR EXCEPTIONAL PERFORMANCE IN THE FIELD
The ability to print large images such as maps of areas of special interest or blow-ups of pictures taken by UAVs can be crucial to military and humanitarian operations in the field. The new Ndura RUGGED® A0 Plotter from Blazepoint meets all the requirements in terms of print performance, deployability and resistance to extreme conditions and rough handling.
Employing the latest printing technology, the new Plotter incorporates significant advances over the Ndura RUGGED® model that it replaces. Colour and monochrome images can be printed with a maximum print resolution of 2400 x 1200 dpi at significantly improved print speeds. In fact, images that previously took up to 30 minutes to print can now be achieved in around 80 seconds.
The Plotter will print on a wider range of media than its predecessor, while the efficiency of ink usage has been enhanced. Very wide images can be printed as well as all sizes up to A0 (841mm x 1189mm) with edge to edge printing avoiding trimming and increasing image size.
An important use for this technology is in the printing of ‘decision overlays’ - transparent sheets that are marked up and placed over a large scale map to show features such as areas which are not accessible to vehicles, where emergency supplies could be landed, and the location of air traffic corridors.
Capable of operating on AC or DC power supplies, the Plotter offers ethernet, USB and parallel connectivity, making the unit compatible with legacy and future military systems.
The portable unit, one of the lightest and quietest A0 plotters on the market, is housed in an environmentally sealed aluminium alloy case. All items needed to operate the Plotter, such as spare cartridges, cables, manuals and paper rolls can be stored inside the case, which comes in a NATO Green finish or can be finished to meet specific requirements.
The Ndura RUGGED® A0 Plotter meets the requirements of MIL-STD-810F.
