I had an interesting experience the other day. I had a 35mm slide
printed(8x10) by the Fuji Frontier 370 system. The Fuji system is
apparently 5000 dpi and uses a laser to expose Fuji Crystal paper
which is then chemically developed. The Fuji print was noticeably
sharper(by unaided eye)
Spencer:
Very hasty*, but the results were so surprising I couldn't help
myself. The picture has a helicopter in it and I have been using it
to evaluate the resolution of my scanners. There is some numbering on
the side of the helicopter that is very easy to read on the
transparency film(usin

The Fuji 370 print prompted me to do some experimenting with the
Epson 1270 printer settings. I found out the the dither patterns in
the monotone areas of the print were much smoother when using High
Quality(mono directional) then when using Bidirectional
printing(Faster). I only could
Rob:
Yes the Fuji just paints light on the Fuji Crystal paper with a
laser. I guess I was just surprised at the quality of print available
at a local fast photo place for $6(8x10). On the other hand comparing
the two prints with eyeballs its hard to tell them apart with respect
to resolution.
Spencer:
Last night I tried printing the helicopter picture at a higher
resolution. The highest I could get with out resampling was 360 dpi.
The print was a lot closer to the Fuji 370 print then before. In fact
the print and the scan(Minolta Elite) looked quite similar now. So my
original sug
