Seamless CAD Integration
Our plotters work effortlessly with leading CAD software like: Gerber AccuMark, Optitex, Audaces, TukaTech, Lectra, PAD System, StyleCAD, Vetigraph, Crea.
Note: Any CAD or pattern-making software may be used, provided that it can export files in .PLT, .HPG, or HPGL format, which are compatible with the plotter for printing.
Supported File Formats
- PLT, HPGL, HPG.
- Some DXF, DXF-AAMA, ASTM DXF, DWG (via optional conversion tools (additional cost).
If the software cannot export a .PLT, .HPGL, or .HPG file and can only export DXF or DWG files, Velocity Plotters & Cutters offers a conversion program that can convert DXF, DXF-AAMA, or DWG files into .PLT or .HPGL format. This creates a secure, plotter-compatible printing file that can be used with the Velocity plotter. The conversion program is available at an additional cost.
Ink Type
HP #45 black ink cartridges. Approximate yield: 6,000 yards per cartridge.
Paper Roll Compatibility
200 to 500-yard rolls.
3 inch core.
Printing Speed
Single head :50 yd²/h (42 m²/hr)
Dual head: 96 yd²/h (80 m²/hr)
Quad head: 180 yd²/h (150 m²/hr)
Warranty
1-year parts warranty: Any defective components are replaced at no cost within the first 12 months.
3-month labor warranty: Covers labor costs associated with repairs for the first three months.
Installation & Training
Plotters ship unassembled; Velocity provides guided remote installation, software and connectivity setup, calibration, first-run testing, and operator training.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the plotter change the size of my designs?
No. The plotter follows the exact specifications of the CAD file. It does not alter dimensions. It simply reproduces what was designed.
Do I need to have a CAD system to run the plotter?
No. While you do need a CAD system to create the design, the plotter runs on its own software. The CAD user sends the file (usually by email), and the plotter software reads and processes it for printing. The plotter software is not for design but for operation.
What type of ink does it use?
The plotter uses HP #45 black ink cartridges, which are widely available at retailers such as Target, OfficeMax, Office Depot, and Amazon. You may also choose to purchase cartridges through Velocity Plotters.
What file formats does the plotter print from the CAD system?
The plotter reads and prints from the following standard formats:
PLT, HPGL, HPG
What is the ink yield?
Each cartridge provides approximately 6,000 yards of plotting.
What is the largest paper roll size that can be used in the plotter?
The plotter is compatible with paper rolls between 200 to 500 yards in length.
What is the printing speed?
Single head: 50 yd2/h
Dual head: 96 yd2/h
Quad head: 180 yd2/h
What is the warranty coverage for your plotters?
Our plotters come with a comprehensive warranty to ensure your peace of mind:
- Parts Warranty (1 year): Any defective components are replaced at no cost within the first 12 months.
- Labor Warranty (3 months): Covers labor costs associated with repairs for the first three months.
Does the plotter arrive fully assembled?
No, Velocity plotters are not pre-assembled due to shipping and logistical considerations.
However, we ensure that setup is fast, guided, and stress-free. Our technical team provides:
- Step-by-step remote installation support
- Configuration assistance for software and connectivity
- Calibration and first-run testing
- User training on operation and basic maintenance
Whether you’re local or remote, our priority is to ensure your plotter is fully operational from day one—with the guidance and support you need.
What’s the difference between a Marker Plotter and a Pattern Plotter?
Both plotters play vital roles in textile and apparel production, but they serve different purposes:
- Marker Plotter:
Prints marker layouts. Optimized arrangements of pattern pieces to reduce fabric waste in mass production. Ideal for factory environments. - Pattern Plotter:
Prints individual templates or patterns with annotations and cutting lines. Best suited for designers and pre-production tasks.
Depending on your workflow, you can use either one or combine both for a fully integrated production solution.
Do you offer financing options or plans?
Yes, you can apply for financing through TimePayment to purchase the following solutions:
- Velocity Tecnica One
- Velocity Vector One Marker Plotter
- Velocity Vector Two Marker Plotter
- Velocity Vector Four Marker Plotter
- Velocity Pattern Plotter Cutter
- Velocity Flatbed Plotter Cutter

Can a Velocity plotter integrate with the CAD software I already use?
Velocity plotters support most major CAD systems used in apparel, automotive, and technical textile production, including Gerber AccuMark, Optitex, Audaces, TukaTech, Lectra, PAD System, StyleCAD, Vetigraph, and Crea.
What's the difference between a pattern plotter and a plotter cutter?
A pattern plotter only prints patterns and markers on paper. A plotter cutter (like the Velocity Pattern Plotter Cutter) both prints and cuts the paper pattern in a single integrated process.
