Versatec has made 400dpi electrostatic printer/plotters for years. They served
mostly minis and mainforames, but as personal computers get more powerful
and electrostatic plotters get cheaper, you will see more 400dpi plotters.
For about 1.5X the cost of a high-end pen plotter, you can buy an electrostatic
that will provide several orders of magnitude more speed and greatly improved
plot-to-plot reliability.
Hope this answers your questions about printer/plotters.
