> > if you are above then it just wastes processing. With the current generation of printers, it's getting pretty hard to have an image that's higher-resolution than the printer!
My current HP is 600 dpi in normal mode, 1200 dpi in best quality. Even on 8.5x11 paper at 600 dpi that's 30+ megapixels - more than a 4000ppi scan can get from a 35mm frame. An 11x17 print at 1200 dpi would need an incredible 250 megapixels. I'm not sure even a 6x7 frame can deliver that amount of real data. So either there are a lot of large-format users out there, or the printer is no longer the resolution-limiting step in the process.
