I realize this thread is somewhat off topic, but I have yet to see any samples of 2880 dpi Epson output at any store. Is there really any improvement over the 1440 dpi output? Does anyone know if the banding is lessened or increased with this "higher res" printing? Art Rob Geraghty wrote:

I am very pleased with the scanner in terms of the sharpness of 8x12 images. With the use of Photoshop and good sharpening technique, the 11x14 and 11x16 images are acceptable. The Fujix Pictrograph prints compare very well to optical enlargements. Once past that size, the limiting factor is more
