Performed a successful experiment with the antique plotter today.
Reloaded some Pentel RSVP pens with diluted ink (diluted with glycerol), to get 50% and 25% value pens.
1453minutes and 33 seconds later, I had this.
This is awesome. Now I want one!
If you ever need ideas for stuff to print, you might want to check out various pictures made using generative art. This type of art is made using computer algorithms and mathematical formulas. The actual art pieces that I've seen in books are often described as having been printed using a pen plotter, so I think some of them would be suitable.
Here's a website that aims to recreate some of the classic images from the 70s:

The images posted on the website aren't the highest resolution, but you can use the filter to find recreations that run in a browser.
