5ft print from 66, Nikon 8000 If you have to supply the file on CD, it might be convenient to keep it below 600kb or whatever you can get on a CD - or you could use backup to split the file over 2 CDs, or Zip or...
I have always printed pixel to pixel 6,000 x 9,000 pixels on an HP A3 printer from 4,000 ppi scans of 66 on a Polaroid SprintScan 120, (which can produce 8,000 ppi files). (I got my Epson 2100 today... hope to get it up and running some week soon.) You need to find out the preferred PPI options of the printer to be used - they will tell you they can zoom it to any size, but they would loose a great deal of detail by doing so. I would try interpolating up the file to 1,8000 pixels square for printing at 300 ppi, but if the output will be to an Epson (e.g. the 44 inch 9600, which that nice man at Newbury has) they would get a better result printing at 720 ppi. =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
