Possibly ... but even the best of films and exposures will not demand you scan with more resolution than 4000ppi (altho some, but very few, can approach 6000ppi). The printer, on the other hand, only needs to suit your needs ... all 8x10?, ... or an occasional 11x14?? ... or do you need billboard panels??? cheerios ... shAf :o) Avalon Peninsula, Newfoundland Unsubscribe by mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], with 'unsubscribe filmscanners' or 'unsubscribe filmscanners_digest' (as appropriate) in the message title or body
[filmscanners] Re: The weakest link
The most important is the scanner so that your input is of the best quality possible. You can always visually compensate for a poor monitor. You can always work on the image with whatever software you prefer. And if your printer is not good enough you can send it out for printing.

Yes... Definitely learn how to use your scanner, scanning software, and color management properly, and you will be happier with your scans. [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Enoch's Vision, Inc.
