At 1,000 DPI, the laser isn't going to be anywhere near it's supposed to be
anyway. Close enough thought.
The beam of the laser will be probably bigger than a dot a 1,000 DPI (which
is good as the overlap fills in the gaps) depending on a bunch of things.
Dunno how LinuxCNC does rastering, but often the laser is left on between
dots so that evens things out. Sometimes you want dot - dot - dot lasering,
but not in this case.
