plotter

GBK English to Slovenian Tech/Engineering Computers: Hardware
Definition from bluedogink.com:
A device that draws pictures on paper based on commands from a computer. Plotters differ from printers in that they draw lines using a pen. As a result, they can produce continuous lines, whereas printers can only simulate lines by printing a closely spaced series of dots. Multicolor plotters use different-colored pens to draw different colors.
Example sentences:
Once the schematics for the image are complete, the computer downloads the coordinates to the plotter, which interprets the code and calculates the most efficient path for the pen and paper. (eHow, Inc.)
Pen plotters work by moving a pen across the surface of a piece of paper, meaning that plotters are confined to line art, and are incapable of producing rasterized graphics like other printers. It is possible to draw complex line art designs and text, but pen plotters are considerably slower, owing to the pen’s mechanical movements. (richcolorprinters.com)
Plotters are used primarily in technical drawing and CAD applications, where they have the advantage of working on very large paper sizes while maintaining high resolution. (reference.com)

risalnik

Definition from own experience or research:
Podobno kot tiskalnik, le da naprava dejansko uporablja pisalo, ki ga z mehanizmi premika po papirju ali drugi površini.
Example sentences:
Risalnik (angleško plotter) je vrsta tiskalnika. Oblikovan je z namenom, da riše vektorske grafe ter linearne risbe, kot so načrti, tlorise, skice delov in raznih mehanizmov. Tisk je mnogo bolj natančen kot ga zmorejo običajni tiskalniki. (Wikipedia)

agree pomarancha : Za potrebe slovarja se strinjam s prevodom "risalnik", če pa upoštevamo živo rabo jezika, pa tej vrsti tiskalnika povsod pravijo in ga najbolje poznajo kar pod tujim imenom "ploter".

Da, v vsakodnevni rabi ljudje uporabljajo na tisoče tujk. Tudi tiskalniki so printerji itd. To pomeni, da moramo biti toliko bolj dosledni pri uporabi slovenskih besed.
