You can convince the Laserwriter to use thin lines (or thick ones)
by using picture comments.
Insert a SetLineWidth pic comment (kind=182) into your picture.
The additional data for the comment is a point. The vertical component
of the point is the numerator and the horizontal component is the
denominator of the scaling factor that the horz and vert components
of the pen size are multiplied by to obtain the new pen width.
For example to reduce the line width by a factor of 2, use
a point with (horiz=2, vert=1).
I have tried this and it seems to work ok.
