For me it is because at larger magnifications, problems that go
unnoticed in the small print start to show up. For example, in a
4x5 contact print, everything may look sharp, but blown up to
11x14, I may realize that I wanted a smaller stop, or there was
slight subject movement, or worse, that the composition just
plain falls apart (most common for me, I am afraid). I shoot all
my 4x5 with 11x14 or larger prints in mind, but find perhaps 1
in 20 compositions actually enlarges to my satisfaction. It can
be very depressing, as that one print will have cost me nearly a
hundred sheets of film.
