Look at #plottertwitter on Twitter for inspiration.

The AxiDraw V3 is a good small plotter for experimentation. It will support any pen with a vaguely normal shape. The biggest limitation of most plotters is they don't control pen pressure; it's fine for normal pens but won't work with a calligraphy pen that gives variable width strokes.




Thanks for that tag. Looks like I will just have to pick one up and experiment with pens I've laying around.

I wonder if some way to add weight along the the pen arm is possible to adjust pressure exists.
