Plotting paper is used with plotter machines in a variety of industries including engineering, design, architectural, drafting and patternmaking. There are different types of plotting machines requiring different types of plotter paper – and people choose their plotter paper depending on their requirements. Vellum plotter paper is the preferred choice for printing large volumes of blueprints (eg in engineering practices etc) as it enables crisp, clear lines – but it can only be used for inkjet printing. Translucent bond plotter paper is a lower cost paper, which is used for black and white plotting. Another type of plotter paper is the gloss paper, which allows a very professional finish and which works best with laser jet printing as well as pen plotters.
With many different types available, it can be a bit of a challenge knowing what plotting paper to get – as well as knowing where to source it. In some cases, the printers aren’t compatible with the plotting paper that people have bought and in other cases, the manufacturers have stopped making plotting paper altogether. Naturally, this can be a very frustrating exercise – a waste of time and of money – so it’s worth doing a bit of groundwork first before you go ahead and place an order for your plotter paper.
Upfront, you should establish what plotting paper will work with your printer and what type of paper is best suited to your needs. Always contact the suppliers personally if you’re unsure of anything as they will advise on what to buy. Be cautious if deals sound too good to be true, because they usually are ….so it’s always best to buy through reputable, established suppliers who will really listen to what you need and give you reliable advice and quality products. There are many internet businesses where you can buy plotter paper online, but it’s always worth spending a few minutes doing your homework to ensure you get it right, first time.
