  • can anyone help with some advise on plotter paper/pens?

    Posted by Barbara Eden on 10 November 2007 at 13:23

    Can any of you loverly people help me with this please? 😀
    I have a Roland CX24, which I would like to use for plotting my clothing designs. Do I have to use* proper* plotting paper, or would something like wall-lining paper be just as good?

    Likewise with pens – must they be Roland-or can I use any plotter pens?
    I’m having a job finding suppliers, especially the paper, as I can only find that at 13" width, and ideally,I’d like it as near to 24" width as possible.

    All help greatly appreciated, as always 🙂 🙂 🙂

    You can find paper here

    I think you need a pen from Roland, needs to fit.

    Wall lining paper is fine, and you can use any pens providing they fit in the holder. I think grafityp and cherwell both sell the pens at a reasonable price, start with a low pressure and increase till the drawing is ok. keep the speed fairly low as well
