j.cammarata.art<p>For me a print can be made from any repeatable mark making process. In addition to pen plotting my prints usually include manual media application techniques like stencils.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/penplotting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>penplotting</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/printmaking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>printmaking</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/stencil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>stencil</span></a></p>

Paul<p>I think the moral of the story is vinyl cutters make mediocre pen plotters and Inkscape isn’t a great tool for HPGL. <br>At some point in the process one of them shits the bed and and draws a line right through the drawing. <br>Dashed lines also don’t work; I _think_ HPGL has a line type description feature, so maybe it’s the plotter just not accepting it.<br>On the plus side, I (sort of) finally got HPGL out of OSX Inkscape by rolling back to v1.3.</p><p>I wish I could buy a legit copy of AutoCAD R14 or 2000. That’s all I’d really need for this.<br><a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/penPlotting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>penPlotting</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/CAD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CAD</span></a></p>
