There has been some recent experimentation, not only with the type of pen,
but with the sorts of designs used.

Individuals attempting tic-tac-toe or checkerboard patterns reported a
marked (sic) increased in digititis, presumably from the digital nature
of discrete lines. One individual attempting a reproduction of a pointalist
(ok, so I can't spell) painting was unfortunate enough to blow out his amp.

On the other hand, designs which involved varying gradations of ink density
seemed much more promising. At this point, a dark outer ring fading to clear
seemed best, though one must avoid a repeat distance which is an integer 
multiple of the laser wavelength.

For more industrious individuals, sticking to impressionists is recommended
and for god's sake, avoid Picasso!
