360 dpi images should print well. However, the sharpness of the prints will depend on the accuracy of the scanner. On your monitor you should be able to see relatively good sharpness at 100%. If you don't, your prints won't be snappy. What resolution are you scanning at?. I assume.it must be 4000 dpi if you're able to get 360 dpi prints at 11 x 15. Are you using a film scanner or a flatbed? Is the resolution native or interpolated? There are a lot of factors involved here. If something isn't right, your prints will be mush. Paul
