Shangara, I have an observation here. You were looking for a punjabi saying
and did not find it, but I did find  a venezuelan one for you:

You are looking for the fitfh paw of the cat!!

In other words, we all know prety well final results are absolutely
dependent on subject matter, and for example, architectural photographers
may find indeed some difference between one downsampled file and the
original, but if Johnathan is reporting his work is doing fine, why then
suggesting him to add some diagonals in Photoshop to finally find a failure
in the method?

I told him privately that I usually run lots of Epsons when updating my
portfolios and for that matter I burn CD�s with two folders, the HiRes
Folder and the "Print" folder and  run an action to get all my scans and
files from camera to 180 dpi ( plus sharpening etc), and everytime I have to
re-print a group of images or an entire folder, I just to load the CD's and
print the corresponding pics. So far, and through the years, I have found no
problem with my work at 180 dpi and that is why I suggested this
procedure.and I would find no reason to add diagonal lines or elipses to my
nudes in order to find out if the technique is good enough or not.

There are many specific reasons to have printing problems at varying
resolutions, all depending on subject matter and the combo of
Printer/RIP,the capture method and even the sharpenning technique used, and
all requiring some testing, but can't we be just positive on a sunday
afternoon with a method that is proving to be working in practice??

Happy Sunday!!
