Product Overview

PlotWorks is a print management solution which enables:

  • Batch printing and collated sets
  • Visual job preparation with integrated viewer (WYSIWYG)
  • Precise control of multi-page images (PDF, DWF/DWFx, TIFF)
  • Advanced media management and control
  • Scan retrieval, viewing and renaming
  • File conversion and soft copy plotting
  • Managed workflow with client/server architecture

Supported file formats include CALS (Type 1), DWF/DWFx, HP-GL/1, HP-GL/2, HP-RTL, PDF, PostScript and TIFF.

The software that shipped with your printer is a fully enabled, perpetual software license. This is not a trial copy.

Build and Print Collated Sets

Print jobs can be visually prepared and submitted through PlotWorks. Re-size, re-order and adjust images and the software will collate the desired number of sets. Users can submit the entire set or specific sheets to their printer.

Job Explorer with output dialog

Work with Multiple File Formats

CALS, DWF, DWFx, PLT, PDF, PostScript and TIFF images can be viewed and manipulated through a single interface on any client PC. Properties can be defined for selected sheets or for all sheets including paper size, rotation, scale and offsets.

Scan and Index

As a user scans, images are automatically retrieved and viewed. The user can rotate, modify and rename images with a simple interface. Renaming multiple sheets is easy as PlotWorks maintains the title block zoom from sheet to sheet.

Indexing with Job Explorer

File Conversion and Output-to-File

Rapidly convert any supported image format to either PDF or TIFF in either single- or multi-page format. Typical applications include archiving, distribution, and population of document management systems. Users may specify final resolution, compression method and naming convention.

Hot Folders

Create hot folders on your network for users to drag-and-drop their files. Each folder can be configured to automatically apply predefined printing parameters. For example, create one folder for 50 percent reductions, and another folder for scale-to-fit on ANSI B.

Queue Control

In attended environments the operator has advanced control over every job. Jobs can be paused, interrupted and resumed. Jobs stored in the queue can be reprinted instantly without requiring further processing or spooling.

Unlimited Client Users

The PlotWorks Client may be installed on any PC giving multiple users the ability to print and view with the simple interface. Users appreciate the flexibility, print speed and ability to retrieve past print jobs.
