        <h3>What is a pen plotter?</h3>
        <p>A pen plotter is a machine that holds a real pen and draws on paper by moving along precise coordinates. Unlike a printer, it physically draws each line. The result is a genuine ink drawing, not a reproduction.</p>
      </div>

      <div class="qa">
        <h3>How are the drawings made?</h3>
        <p>Every mobile suit is rebuilt as a vector drawing: precise coordinate paths that the AxiDraw plotter follows to draw each piece in ink. The machine holds a real pen and physically draws every line.</p>
      </div>

      <div class="qa">
        <h3>Are these prints?</h3>
        <p>No. Every edition is drawn, not printed. The AxiDraw plotter traces the paths in fineliner on Bristol paper. Because of the physical medium, no two pieces in an edition are ever perfectly identical.</p>
      </div>

      <div class="qa">
        <h3>What paper and ink do you use?</h3>
        <p>We use Strathmore 300 Series Bristol Smooth (11×14″) with Staedtler Triplus Fineliner 0.3mm pens. The ink is pigment-based, acid-free, and lightfast.</p>
      </div>

      <div class="qa">
        <h3>How long does a plot take?</h3>
        <p>Depends on the complexity. A standard 11×14″ edition typically runs 30 – 90 minutes. You can watch the timing live on the <a href="/#feature" style="color:var(--red)">Live Plot</a> on our homepage.</p>
      </div>

      <div class="qa">
        <h3>What sizes are available?</h3>
        <p>Current editions are drawn on 11×14″ (279 × 356mm) Bristol. Custom sizes may be available through <a href="commissions.html" style="color:var(--red)">Commissions</a>.</p>
      </div>

      <div class="qa">
        <h3>How are editions numbered?</h3>
        <p>Each edition has a fixed run size (e.g. "Edition of 50"). Pieces are numbered sequentially as they are plotted and sold. Once an edition sells out, it is retired.</p>
      </div>

      <div class="qa">
        <h3>Do you take commissions?</h3>
        <p>Yes. We accept commissions for custom mobile suit plots and other subjects. Visit our <a href="commissions.html" style="color:var(--red)">Commissions</a> page for details.</p>
      </div>

      <div class="qa">
        <h3>Do you ship internationally?</h3>
        <p>Yes. We ship worldwide with tracked, insured carriers. See our <a href="shipping.html" style="color:var(--red)">Shipping</a> page for full details.</p>
      </div>

      <div class="qa">
        <h3>Can I return a piece?</h3>
        <p>Because each piece is made to order, we cannot accept returns for change of mind. We do replace pieces damaged in transit. See our <a href="returns.html" style="color:var(--red)">Returns</a> policy.</p>
