Question

How do printers convert the vectorial CAD graphics to dots in paper? I have a 50mmx50mm with 4095x4095 points "printing" system and I'd like to print some CAD files to it? Should I use the existing printing system? Or convert the CAD file to something my "printer" undertands and if so, how?

Thank you

Solution

All printers understand postscript - in fact, most software that can print outputs to a postscript file and feeds it to the printer driver.

Export it as a postscript and edit it with The Gimp if you think something is wrong. Then print it out.
