Testing a new bit of #processing code to generate #penplotter halftone grids with dots made from spirals. The yellow and magenta layers are done, this is the cyan layer going down

The plot is complete :) I'm not sure I like the black layer, it makes a better representation of the photo but I think it's not as interesting as the CMY layers alone were

I do like the Tombow pens I bought to test plotting with through, nice CMYK colours with fairly broad (~1mm) but very robust fibre tips (details and codes in the alt text)

The bed of a pen plotter with a sheet of white Bristol board taped to it with black electrical tape at the corners. To the left of the paper there are 4 pens with black plastic barrels and caps in different colours: black (code N15), cyan (443), magenta (755), and yellow (055). The paper has a colour plotted halftone photo of an eye made with these pens
