i hope i get it with the inkjet to work, the ploter method has disadvantages.
the hardware is ok but software not.
please first try to get hpgl (or which plotter you have) files of your pcb and inspect with viewer if
ok.
i strongly suggest buying carbide tipped pens and using steadtler red ohp refill ink in there.
plain staedtler pens make problems.
regards
stefan
