4.3 Paper Features
Paper Type Features
Measurement paper (SP325) • Paper size is minimally affected by fluctuations in humidity.
• Minimal ink smears.
• Wet-copying is possible to some degree.
• Writing quality somewhat degenerates at high-speed plotting.
Coated paper (PL501) • Good ink adhesion because the paper surface is smooth.
• Plotted results look good due to paper's whiteness.
• Paper size is somewhat affected by fluctuations in humidity
(more so than measurement paper).
• Not suitable for use with refillable ink pens, disposable ink
pens and high-speed ceramic pens because its ink absorption
speed is slightly slower than that of other paper.
Tracing paper (PL507) • Plotted results can be wet-copied.
• Paper size is considerably affected by fluctuations in humidity.
Polyester film (PL524) • Plotted results can be clearly wet-copied.
• Fluctuations in humidity have practically no effect on the paper
size. (Superior stability of paper size)
• Note that the ink dries slowly when using a refillable ink pen or
ceramic pen.
• High-speed ceramic pens (HC500P series) cannot be used as
the ink dries slowly.
• Disposable ink pens cannot be used.
HINT
Paper inherently contracts or expands due to fluctuations in the temperature and/or humidity, and this
property may affect the plotted results. 30 minutes before beginning plotting, remove the sheets from the
pack to accustom the paper to the working environment.
Supplemental information
1.
Plotting paperWhenever possible, use the recommended paper.
When using plotting paper other than the recommended ones, check with your nearest Graphtec vendor.
2. Pens
Note that ink smears if water-based fiber-tip pens, refillable ink pens, disposable ink pens or high-speed
ceramic pens are left in contact with highly-sbsorbent plotting paper.
