The smooth plastic surface of the egg can be handled by a combination of pen speed (slower) pen choice and allowing the egg to dry undisturbed. A clear varnish can also help. | The smooth plastic surface of the egg can be handled by a combination of pen speed (slower) pen choice and allowing the egg to dry undisturbed.

− | Plastic eggs have a | + | Plastic eggs have a join at the widest point (the equator) where the two halves meet and usually have small plastic hinge that holds the two halves together. If the two halves meet well, it is sometimes possible to draw across the boundary of the halves. The hinge usually sticks up far enough to catch the pen and cause major alignment issues. Even under the best situations, drawing across the half boundary causes minor alignment issues. A simple and effective workaround is to design plots that only cross the equator while the pen is up. If plots are designed so that the equator is crossed only a few times, the hinge generally does not cause an issue. |
