Leave the decision to the customer whether they prefer vellum or translucent plotter paper Vellum is often the preferred plotter paper choice for blueprints due to the high quality vellum produces. However, translucent plotter paper can be purchased at a much lower cost and produce similar results. Depending on your customer's project, it is smart to let them decide for themselves which they prefer to use.

I recommend:  LPS Computer carries both vellum and translucent. You'll notice there is a large difference in price between the two options. Macro Enter also carries both types. Keep in mind on this site that the price for the translucent includes four rolls where the vellum includes just one.

Tailor to all different projects that use plotter paper A gloss finish makes a huge difference, depending on what type of project your customer plans on using the plotter paper for. Make sure that customers can find plotter paper in different finishes for everything from pictures to presentations.

I recommend:  Super Warehouse provides several plotter paper options for you to carry for your customers, from glossy to matte. Wab Paper Supply is another good source for plotter paper information. They have a large selection offered in both sheets and rolls.

Choose plotter paper for both ink jets or traditional pen plotters Although traditional pen plotters are not as common anymore, those customers who are still using them still need to buy the appropriate paper. It is important to be a plotter paper provider for all your customers, no matter which plotter they are using.

I recommend:  DraftingSteals.com offers both opaque and translucent plotter paper that is designed specifically for pen plotters. Graytex Papers has a plotter paper list that includes paper for both traditional pen and ink jet plotters. These are sold by both sheets and by rolls.
