I'd be interested what you have discovered about photofilms for a home
made plotter. Let us know anything that converts your cheap laser into
raster scanning 20um beam projection. I think more brain power would be
required to devise software to compensate fringing of the projected beam
as would to the accurate and well predicted spiral mapping in a drum
plotter. If one were to build a < 50um resolution photoplotter then the
only feasible method is with a rotating drum. I'd be interested any
anyone's thoughts.
