quality (for example, one where the dispersion rate is much higher) or the same type (reflective paper)may

Pattern sizes
The absolute minimum required for an Anoto Digital Pen to read the pattern and know it's position on the
page is 7mm (1/4"). Any pattern smaller than this will not be readable. However, at 7mm width and height,
