Template does make a difference.  Letterhead to me meant something to
have printed up.

You can tell I don't use word processors, eh?  (I use LaTeX for letters.)

But since it is an OOo template, can OOo really not embed any form of
vector art?  Perhaps an OOo draw file is the answer???

Those still have 600 to 1200 dpi grayscale output (for some definition
of grayscale); vector art still looks better than pixmap art on them.
