I printed JCO's image on my Epson 1200 at 11x14 and found it to be quite sharp. Under a glass, the cross hatch bars in the lighthouse window are crisp as are the air conditioning units below the windows in the tall building. The ripples in the water are well defined. The color is deep and rich. I would prefer to work from a higher res scan, but this one is certainly very good. I've used a similar Epson and let it interpolate to 3200 with good results. But I'm not sure if that would be superior in this case. I've sent the print to JCO, so let's see what he thinks. He should get it tomorrow. Paul
