I just bought a Epson 1270SU.
Is there a formula for picking density and output size based on input
size and projected print size.
I scan 6x7 and will print either 8x10 or 11x14
And I scan 35mm and will print either 8x(10/12) or 11x(14/16)

Rick, I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "density," but not knowing what
the question is has never stopped me from giving an answer before. I'll
assume that density means the number of dots per inch (dpi) that you send to
the printer. There's another value that has to do with how many dpi
Ray wrote me (Roger) off line concerning my last post:
Roger, your message to the group needs to be corrected.
dpi is printer resolution (dots per inch)
ppi is image resolution (pixels per inch)
Your printer will print at 1440 dpi.
Your computer will send a 300 ppi image to your printer for
I agree with Roger's advice, but bravely add the following..
1. I have always seen many beginners, me included, get very confused about
the (non-existent?!) link between image resolution (ppi) and 'printer

recommend that
sense that I need to keep it. Thanks, Roger.
