Serious question, Can this pen effect be simulated, and still be printed with a regular printer ? Would there be a difference then ?


Only if your printer also slightly embosses (they don't anymore really .. dot-matrix and daisy wheel certainly can but then you get resolution problems), can take any ink you can run through a pen (they can't.. or at least they don't.. maybe old ribbon based printers could...). There is a quality to a pen plot that is not reproduced with current 'printer' technologies.
