Thanks, I’ve never dealt with that before. But from what I’ve read, a regular printer would still make more sense for such a task.

Benefits of a plotter in this case:

  • easier to align with the existing lines on the paper
  • the ink doesn’t look printed (depending on the pen; I would use a blue ball-pen to make text look more authentic)
  • there are pressure-marks left on the paper, you wouldn’t have these on regular printers

And as I found out in this thread, you can also adjust the handwriting. That’s cool. But in the picture, the writing looks so artificial that the person could have used a normal printer.

You can plot anything.

I use it mostly to print drawings onto birthday cards.

(btw, I totally agree that OPs results are far from look handwritten; just wanted to stand in for some benefits of plotting in general. If I would try what op does I guess I would try things very differently)
