5. Handmade Artwork Disclaimer

Every Plotora artwork is individually produced using physical plotting machines, real pens, real ink, and physical paper.

Unlike mass-produced digital prints, each artwork is physically drawn line-by-line through a mechanical plotting process.

Accordingly, every piece is unique.

Minor variations are an inherent characteristic of genuine pen-plotted artwork and shall not be regarded as defects.

Such characteristics may include, but are not limited to:

slight ink density variations;
natural ink flow characteristics;
feathering;
microscopic ink spots;
interrupted pen strokes;
tiny pressure variations;
overlapping lines;
minute plotting tolerances;
paper texture;
paper fibres;
paper grain;
slight paper waviness;
natural colour variations;
microscopic imperfections resulting from the physical plotting process.

These characteristics are considered part of the artistic nature of the product.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Plotora does not warrant that such materials will be completely free from naturally occurring characteristics, cosmetic variations, or manufacturing tolerances that do not materially affect the intended decorative use of the product.
