Bernhard, I would go with c. I scanned a Velvia slide with my Minolta Multi and had a friend scan the same slide with his 4000 dpi Polaroid, and even up to Super A3 size, there was virtually no difference, other than the Minolta scan looked a little sharper, but I attribute that to slightly more contrast in the scan. While I have no doubt a 4000 dpi scan gets more detail, if the printer -- Epson 1270 in my case -- isn't capable of showing that detail, it goes for naught. Mikel
