Tried paperless drafting for a month, went straight back to my old plotter setup

I spent all of February using a 24 inch monitor and Bluebeam to mark up drawings from my buddy's firm in Raleigh, thinking I'd save time. Nope. My eyes felt like sandpaper by week two, and I kept losing track of layers, must have redlined the wrong sheet like 4 times. Swapped back to my 36 inch wide HP plotter and a red pencil, got the same job done in 3 fewer hours on Monday. Anyone else find that paper still beats pixels for catching those tiny dims before they hit the field?

Bluebeam's fine until you gotta catch a 1/16" offset, then paper wins every time.
