Dennis, I couldn't agree with you more. I was simply looking for a basic rule of thumb regarding printing vs rendering resolution. The software and screening algorithms can only make up for so much. For example, a scanner with an optical resolution of 600 dpi will produce better scans than one which scans at 300 dpi but simulates 600 dpi through interploation. I would rather have the pixel information present in the image file rather than have the software guess. But you're right, if image size and processing time is an issue, the software can do wonders.
