            Thanks, I’ve never dealt with that before. But from what I’ve read, a regular printer would still make more sense for such a task.

              Benefits of a plotter in this case:

              • easier to align with the existing lines on the paper
              • the ink doesn’t look printed (depending on the pen; I would use a blue ball-pen to make text look more authentic)
              • there are pressure-marks left on the paper, you wouldn’t have these on regular printers

                And as I found out in this thread, you can also adjust the handwriting. That’s cool. But in the picture, the writing looks so artificial that the person could have used a normal printer.

                  You can plot anything.

                  I use it mostly to print drawings onto birthday cards.

                  (btw, I totally agree that OPs results are far from look handwritten; just wanted to stand in for some benefits of plotting in general. If I would try what op does I guess I would try things very differently)

      Teachers are starting to enforce hand written assignments to stop the use of chatGPT

        Sounds like a disability act lawsuit waiting to happen tbh. Some of us have very poor fine motor skills or worse and would be severely disadvantaged by having to do even short hand written assignments…
