Question

In electronic plotters the term resolution refers to

Answer 1

Electrostatic plotter is a plotter that draws images on paper in an electrostatic method.  

Most rarely used for Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) giving raster images either via a Liquid Toner/Dry Toner model.

Liquid Toners use toner that is positively charged and thus gets linked to paper's negative charge.  

It occurs later when the toner particles goes inside a line of electrodes in the form of tiny wires/nibs.  

Spacing of the wires controls the resolution of the plotter i.e.100/400 wires to the inch.  

Dry Toner models use a method same to xerography in photocopiers.
