Hello all, I've recently been gifted with a plotter that wasn't being maintained by another department. It's a Christmas dream come true - I can now print out build drawings on bigger paper than 8.5x11! It's up and running now and has produced beautiful work thus far on a roll of vellum I already had. My question is this: is there a standard about plotting drawings on vellum vs. paper? Does it matter? Personal preference? I learned to draft when plotters were $$$$ and we drew on vellum and used a blue-line machine so my guts say "drawings go on vellum" but since I'm printing now, paper is cheaper. I tried to search first but the threads I found were about where to buy hand drafting supplies and plotting software or machines. Thanks for any input!
