Don;
You are right about the aspect ratio should be 1.0 for printing. However, if
you are rendering at only 1024×768 to print an 8"x10" image then you are not
printing to the printers full resolution. The Epson Stylus 720 like 240 dpi
for it's "720 DPI" color printing. Which means your final rendering should be
2400X1920. However I find that printing at 140 dpi does a great job with the
Epson at 1/4 the file size (1400×1120).
I have seen samples of the Epson Glossy Paper, and you are right, the images
look great. It is not the the print actually looks different (the pixelation
and dithering are the same) but on a glossy paper it just looks a lot better.
However, at $60.00 for 60 sheets it is very expensive. I decided to buy a
Laminator for around $100 plus 5 cents per sheet of lamination paper and get
very good results.
Hope this helped.
