Plotting pens: The plotter uses any pen (ball-point, felt or fiber tip) with barrel size between .95 cm (3/8 in) and 2.22cm (7/8 in) diameter. Most disposable pens purchased from office supply stores work fine. Ioline stocks a long life plotting pen that fits most pen plotters and includes a locating flange to ensure proper tip distance from the paper. Visit the Ioline eCommerce website for purchase information.
