Any pen plotter people have advice for getting results with very fine (< 0.5mm) tipped pens? I feel like I'm really beating up the pen tips but as far as I can tell it's not putting THAT much pressure down. Wondering if I need smoother paper and maybe a slower speed 🤔

@gvy_dvpont Maybe a backing pad? The grit wheel plotters have a void behind the paper where the pen makes contact. Sometimes they punch through if the paper gets wet, but it is easier on nibs.
