Print Bitmaps

In NORMICA Software there is the syntax plot and print.

  • Plot means to copy the original file to the plotter.
  • To print means to create out of the original drawing with a Windows printer driver a new print file a send this to the printer.

Because it is not common that Plotters support bitmaps directly,

  • you can print through NORMICA with a Windows printer driver
  • or the bitmap can be exported by NORMICA to a generic plot file and then copied to printer

It is much faster if you want to print large bitmaps (DINA1 or bigger), creating with NORMICA out of a bitmap an RTL file and copy this to the plotter then printing out a bitmap from e.g. Photoshop, which may take many times longer.

Following products offer to print Bitmaps.
