I spent yesterday trying to find the best way to plot this very detailed image. Due to its many overlapping lines, regular paper didn't hold up to repeated passes unless I used a ballpoint, which shed ink in a way that I found distracting.

In the end, the best result came from a 0.1mm Rotring Isograph with Black DeAtramentis Document ink on Yupo paper. Amazing detail and tonal gradation. 🔥

A photo of a pen plot of a physics simulation gone wrong. There are many overlapping black lines that seem to move chaotically across the page, while darker regions seem to form an abstract pattern of loops and curves.

@jeffpalmer how did the ink dry on the yupo paper, you must have been *very* careful around that plot!

@andypiper It finished later in the evening and I left it overnight to dry. Seemed fine in the morning, but I didn’t really test it too extensively. I agree it was a concern.
