The correct answer is: A. electrostatic
A pen plotter is a computer-controlled drawing device that uses a pen to draw on paper or other media. There are three main types of pen plotter technology: flatbed, drum, and electrostatic.
A flatbed plotter has a flat surface on which the paper is placed. The pen moves across the paper to draw the image.
A drum plotter has a cylindrical drum on which the paper is placed. The pen moves around the drum to draw the image.
An electrostatic plotter uses an electrostatic charge to attract ink to the paper. The pen moves across the paper to draw the image.
Electrostatic plotters are the most common type of pen plotter. They are relatively inexpensive and easy to use. However, they are not as accurate as other types of pen plotters.
Flatbed plotters are more accurate than electrostatic plotters. However, they are more expensive and difficult to use.
Drum plotters are the most accurate type of pen plotter. However, they are the most expensive and difficult to use.
The other options are incorrect because they are not types of pen plotter technology.
- Electrostatic plotters use an electrostatic charge to attract ink to the paper.
- Thermal plotters use heat to melt ink onto the paper.
- Pinch roller plotters use a pinch roller to move the paper.
- Impact plotters use a hammer to strike the paper, causing ink to be deposited.
