Dave,
Agreed -
Printing out 8x10's from the inkjet (Epson 870) after scanning with the
2450 is decent.
I've had 120 Provia printed out to 20x24" from an Epson 7600 after Aaron
scanned it in on the polaroid (yes, it's 4000 dpi).
The quality is about the same based on the size.
This makes me consider the Epson 2200 as then I would at least be able to
go to 11x14.
Cheers
Dave

Subject: In reference to the 2450/3200/interneg
Hi all.
It cost me about $30.00 plus taxes and 1 sheet of Ilford Classic Pearl,but
i decided to do
an
experiment between a scan from the 2450 and an interneg done of the same
subject,just to
see what
if any is superior/cheaper etc.
Subject was the 35mm slide picture i linked to two weeks ago after our 8
month olf
kitten,Gord,lost the
battle of the SUV.
The local pro lab did the interneg into 120 format(6x6) and an 8x10 print.I
scanned the
slide at 2450 and
printed out a 5x7 on the Pearl.
Other than my background a tad darker,not a whole lot of difference.The
colour on the
interneg print is
pretty good but the subject a tad soft for what the slide shows.
On the other had the scan colours are close too,but subject a bit soft.Now
i did do two
different size
prints,so this may be the difference,but the scan seems a few % better in
the soft
department.
Hope that helps anyone thinking of the 2450 or the 3200 for home use.
I'm sure i can get a better print from either Brendan's or Aaron's Polaroid
scanners which
i think are in
the 4000 dpi range.
Dave
