My mid-1990s Graphtec plotter has a precision of .01mm, or 2540dpi. I don't have any pens for it fine enough for that to matter though, and have yet to build a generic pen-holder (it grabs the pen with magnets...).

> I don't have any pens for it fine enough for that to matter though Yes, that is the issue. The finest pen you could likely get would be 0.1mm (and even that would be hard to find and expensive). That is what I based the 250 dpi on.

  Wait, even if the line width is broader than the resolution of the printer, wouldn't the placement of the .1mm line be accurate to the printer's resolution?

    Yes, but you would not be able to distinguish two parallel lines spaced apart by minimum printer step size.
