Re:Scanning (was Thanks for the warm welcome!)"For 35mm neg scanning I tend to 
use my scanner's maximum resolution 
(2700dpi), save it as a TIFF of around 20Mb,  then save a version at 
240 dpi for printing and then as a 90dpi JPEG for publishing on the 
Net. A tip I picked up somewhere along the line is that the 
resolution of the print file should be exactly divisible into the 
printer resolution (in my case practically 720dpi). Otherwise the 
printer software will start interpolating, which is not good for .."

I learned about printing at 240 dpi last July at the Santa Fe Photography 
Workshops. I took a class in digital printing taught by Bob Korn, printer for 
Joel Meyerowitz and many top photographers. Bob said he always prints at 240 
when using Epson printers. He compared 240 with other numbers and could see no 
improvement above 240. I printed two images size 24X36 on Somerset Velvet paper 
with the school's Epson 9600. 240 was just fine!  I wonder why I never say the 
240 setting in and of the many digital printing books and articles I have 
studied?
