For what purpose? I have 15,043 DNG files from the K20D. No way do I want to print all of them, but I did and do want to be able to look at all of them. Some very small fraction (maybe 10) I think might be worth printing in a "someone else might care about this" sort of way. A larger fraction (maybe 50) have been printed because I have some personal reason (the subject, non-electronic distribution to senior family) to do so. Something like 500 have been blogged. Nothing to do with "a good print is a better image" and lots to do with time and resource management, and more to do with not needing an optimal reproduction of any of those images.
