I took it a step further and bought expensive carbide-tipped pens with
cross-ground tip.
Didn't work because (i think) the trailing edge of this metal "tube"
scrapes away much of the ink and it is no etch resist layer an more.
I never got plotting to copper to work, and it would have been very slow

isn't foolish.
