AxiDraw does not require special paper; you can use almost any kind and size of paper. (You can even use all kinds of things that are not paper.)

The XY travel (printable area) of the AxiDraw V3 is just over that of both US letter (8½ × 11”) and A4 paper sizes. The larger size models have about twice this travel.

You can work with any size of paper up to the size of the travel area. You can write directly onto small pieces like business cards (or a whole array of them), medium size pieces envelopes and note cards, or sheets of paper.

You can also work with paper larger than the travel area. The unique design of the AxiDraw features a drawing head that extends beyond the body of the machine, making it possible to also draw on flat objects bigger than the machine itself. For example, you can set it right on top of a box to write an address. You can even set it on top of a poster board, chalkboard, or whiteboard to draw graphics in place.
