    The thing about blueprints is there are usually multiple line widths.

    I did think of that and am aware of that issue... but thankfully the plans I print at the 24" width do not use the line width to indicate anything. I still plan to use my 13" wide format printer for most of the plans including all of them where line width matters, but saving me from having to run to the print shop 99% of the time is a big benefit.

    By playing with the blade offset and over cut you can get it to draw pretty good.This was just a quick try with a quick setting change..

    This was in scalps and the original  blade setting was .30mm and offset was 1.00mm which wasnt the best. i was impressed after the setting change tho.. Oh this was used with a .07 mm fine tip pen from the dollar store. there are .05mm but you probably have to go to walmart that has a better selection.. But at least you can do this ..

     

     

    Thank you again so much for all your help! I just ordered this thing... I can't wait to get playing with it next week! You definitely helped convince me to spend a few extra bucks, so my wallet should be mad and USCutter should be happy with you! lol I'm sure I'll have questions next week after I get playing with it

    So i tried the pen plotter at 10 points and the standard pen that comes with the cutter i think is a medium point pen, and when it did write it was ok but due the being a wide pen tip it wasnt clear and made the writing to close cause its wide tip,I didnt  have a fine point to put in it, but i think after seeing what it did with the medium point that a fine point should work fine.maybe someone has a fine point to put in it or i will get one later and try it and let you know the end results with a fine tip...

    Thanks so much for your information! I'm hoping someone can test it soon and post a picture, if it comes out well I'm ready to order it!

    Hi all,

    I work in construction and was toying with the idea of starting to make signs and decals in house and trying to figure out how much it will cost me, but when I noticed you can put a pen on them and use them as a pen plotter as well, I was wondering... is this good enough as a pen plotter to make construction blueprints? i.e, will the Titan 2 be able to legibly write small text/numbers that is perhaps 8 or 10 pts? Does anyone have any pictures of samples of small text out of this machine?

    I was leaning towards the SC series originally, and have the same questions about that machine if anyone has both? If I can't reliably do blueprints or the other one can do it too, I'd like to save the money and get that one instead. I won't be printing too many blueprints on it, most will likely go to my 13" wide format printer I already have, but some plans need to be on 24" where I currently need to run to a print shop to pick up and I definitely don't do enough volume to warrant buying a dedicated wide format printer.

    Or am I not being realistic hoping for a dual purpose machine?
