That time a senior drafter told me my lineweights were 'muddy' and I had to rethink everything

Wait, isn't "muddy" more about the ink bleeding or the line being too thick in general, not the actual lineweight number? Like, if your lineweight is set to 0.25mm but the plotter driver is set to the wrong paper type or you're using a shitty pen, it'll come out looking like a blob no matter what value you entered. I had a guy once argue his lineweights were perfect while his viewport scale was set wrong and everything printed at double size. You sure the drafter didn't mean your plot settings were off instead of blaming the lineweight values themselves?

Check your plot style table first, paper size mismatch will wreck the cleanest lineweights.
