Our FilmStar is a small raster photoplotter designed for users who need to make their quality film artwork at a low price and quickly on the spot. Beside Gerber files (both standard and extended), FilmStar also works simply with (hi-resolution) BMP files like those that you can export from standard software, say Corel Draw (tm)(R) or others. Although FilmStar is a small photoplotter it does a very good job. The astonishing low price is a result of both sophisticated design and low manufacturing cost.
