What file type are you sending to FilmMaker? is it line art or is it an image?
If it is an image from photoshop for example, you need to ensure that Anti-Aliasing is turned off when saving the file.
Also in FilmMaker, Go to Queue > properties > Printmode Overrides > Performance and disable Use Interpolation and Enhanced Image quality.
In general for what you are trying to achieve, you need to use the highest resolution setting available to you, and possibly in printer settings have the printer run Uni-directional. These settings will make the printing slower, but should give you the best quality.
The file that we are using and testing with are lines that is a True Vector file from Adobe Illustrator printing in Seperations through FilmMaker. When you say I need to use the highest resolution setting available, where can I select this on Illustrator?
here are a few photos of what we have printed with those settings you have suggested. keep in mind that these are very tiny prints. 0.25pt on illustrator. we are going to use the negatives for prints on watch dials and would like to achieve fine sharp lines like this SEIKO lettering on the picture attached. Notice how fine and sharp their letterings and lines are?
