Know the difference between a regular printer and a multifunction plotter

Regular printers like the iPF750, print high quality black and white as well as full-color plots on paper, canvas, vinyl, Tyvek, and other substrates. This is the more cost-effective choice over a multiple function printer. A multiple function printer, like the iPF750 MPF, has more features than a regular printer. These plotters can scan-to-copy and come standard with the ability to scan to PDF, JPEG, and TIFF file formats. Its intuitive control panel with a touchscreen interface makes creating files quick and one-click scanning and copying has never been easier.
