I'm using an 870, the 1270's little brother. I'm trying to figure out how people are getting bad results. How did it suck? I have a feeling that people are following the "conventional wisdom" and outputting only 300dpi or so. Ilford states that their papers needs "start at 720 dpi". I haven't put anything less than a 15 meg file to the printer, and those are for 8x10s! I haven't worked out the dpi yet, but I'm sure that I'm well above the 300 and even the 720 that has been recommended...
