PMJI – but everyone here seems to be missing the point of what software is being used to output the image to print is every bit as important as the resolution of the image. An image printed with a good quality RIP package can look like a photo print when compared to one output using a standard Windows print driver. We print out images at 72 dpi, and they look marvelous! This saves tons of processing time. The key is the stochastic screening algorithms that the software/hardware combinations use (and don't forget color balancing look up tables for your particular scanner/monitor/media/ink combinations). Stochastic screening is the manner in which the individual dots that make your image are arranged to obtain a 'true color' effect, and eliminate banding or moire' patterns. SuperPrint does OK. ImageEZ from Onyx is excellent.
