Kevin, I don't know if I quite understand what you're saying here, so just
slap me if I've got it all wrong, but it's important to differentiate
between 'Epson dpi' and 'Actual dpi'. At 720dpi, the Epson lays down 720
little squirts of ink every inch, *regardless* of the actual resolution of
the picture (also in dpi; confusing). If you print a 240-244dpi picture at
the 720dpi setting on the Epson, that's about the best quality you'll see;
making the original higher resolution won't help, and will just waste disk
space; if you make all your pics at say 300dpi, they won't print with any
better quality than if they'd been 240dpi.
Best Wishes,
Paul
