Plot quality and paper
Plot quality changes with the following conditions:
Condition
Ambient temperature Paper expansion and contraction causes offset
and humidity and ink blotting
Pen speed The line will be faint if the pen speed is too high
Pen force
Pen and paper will be damaged if set too high,
and line will be faint is set too low
Moisture absorption characteristics and surface
Paper type
roughness will affect line darkness, coloration
and pen clogging.

• Paper expands and contracts by
absorbing the moisture in the air.
Always plot after getting the paper
accustomed to the ambient temperature
and humidity. This optimum time will
vary with the specific paper type, but
generally 30 to 60 minutes after removal
from the paper bag is appropriate.
• Oil on the paper surface may cause
poor performance.
Take care when loading the paper to
prevent transfer of oils or dirt from your
hand to the paper surface.
