Jon:

I wish you good luck. From my point of view I spent too much time
cleaning and filling pens to make it a really useful tool. Nothing like
having a large plot that takes over an hour with a pen plotter be ruined
because a pen ran out of ink about 5 minutes before the plot is
complete. Happened more than once.
