As an AxiDraw pen plotter experimenter, I think business notes is the wrong market for this.

I’ve always thought wedding invitations would be better. Rather than faking handwriting the pen is used much in the way an emboss or deboss is - to raise the quality and prestige of the document. Fountain pens allow for intricate ink sheen and color combinations. Customers are also not price sensitive.

In my experience (I created the robots in that twitter thread) the problem with the wedding invitations market is that they have to be almost totally perfect. With mass mail, you can have skew, slant, weird characters and it doesn't super matter.
