The WC936 Printer is intended to be a high-volume CAD plotter.

The product is intended for decentralized work environments; not centralized work environments, such as service bureaus or centralized engineering reproduction departments (ERDs) where most digital copier/printers, have been positioned to date. The targeted segments are expected on average to produce 500 E(A0)-size prints per month.

Key features incorporated into the WC936 Printer to address these targeted segments are:

Modular Design—Add components as you need them. Lowers the buy-in point.

Software Factoring -- Fully functional and configurable software that features windows drivers, and a plotting utility that offers over 140 raster and vector file formats.

Reliable Technology—fewer electro-mechanical sub-systems to break enables savings in cost of maintenance and minimizes frustrating downtime for technical professionals up against a deadline.

Standard Plot Media – The WC936 P can print onto Océ 24lb Premium Bond, Xerox LX and Smooth Series Bond as well as WideCom Bond. These Océ and Xerox medias are sold in 50-yard lengths with 2" cores—typical specifications of most media used by customers on their CAD plotters today. The WideCom media has a 2" core and 350 feet of media. The system can also print onto polyester film. Widecom is continually developing the ability to print on the a host of different types of media. Please call us to see if we have what you need.

Single Color Printing – The WC936 Printer can print using a variety of ribbon colors. This is a particularly attractive feature for the architectural segment that like blue prints and will become an important capability as we expand into the sign-creation market segment. Ribbons are 350 feet in length to match WideCom’s standard bond media length.

Superior Print Quality – The WC936 P delivers dark solid areas and crisp line edges at 400 dpi. Long prints maintain consistent print quality over the entire length, unlike xerographic printers that are subject to toner/developer depletion and fuser temperature fall-off. To maintain this level of print quality requires the cleaning of the print head once every time the paper is changed (takes about 5 minutes). To maintain consistent print quality from xerographic-based printers requires a trained service technician 2-4 hours—and that technician may not get there the same day you call for service.

File Formats - When accompanied by our optional Plotting Utility, the WC936 is capable of printing over 140 popular formats including HPGL 1, HPGL 2, Postscript 1, Postscript 2, CALS 906/907 and a host of others.

Multiple Roll Widths - The WC936 can print on media anywhere between 24 and 36 inches wide.
