If this is refering to those little 4-ballpoint-pen plotters used by
Sharp, Commodore, Radio Shack, etc then I disagree. I've had several fail
(Radio Shack CGP115, Oric Printer, Sharp PC1500 series plotter, etc)
while in storage. And I never used anything by the correct paper in them.

I've not found anything that will reliably stick to the plastic for said
pinion. 2-pack epoxy resin adhesives (Araldite, etc) certainly don't. And
no common plastic solvent disolves that plastic either.
