I don't think the wire trick is a compalint, it is more of a 'where
can we go from here ? '

Zoran broke new ground and established a whole new method. he is the
visionary that opened the door.

but there is no reason why one cannot imporve in anything.

If you saw the video on the site, it taps along in a slow but
methodical way. Sure it could be much faster.

it will take some time and trial and error for many of us to figure
out how to make it better.

I have a HP plotter with a carosel. I'm thinking why not have 6 cups
and each a different size ? maybe I can 'print' one whole pad at a time ?

maybe draw some 2mm lines with one pen and 0/5mm with another ?

maybe draw straight lines in one action and not have to peck them ?

Zoran offered a briliant solution to a problem.

But, it is only natural for us to tweak anything we see.
