This is a good example of why megapixels alone aren't an accurate gauge of photo quality or even detail resolution. Based on a lot of experience, I can tell you tht a flatbed scanner of that type can resolve enough detail for a nice 8x10. If your film is perfectly flat and the scanner focuses ve

I'd reccommend any Epson photo quality printer. I bought an R200 a few years back for under $100 - does very nice 4 X 6 & 8X10. I've got a 12 year old Epson Stylus Photo that still pumps out great prints. Check out their website http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/ProductCategory.jsp?BV_UseBVCook

It all depends on the dpi at which you want to print. A 35mm frame is pretty close to 1" x 1.5". So if you scan at 4800dpi you're going to be able to print an 8x12 print at 600dpi, a 16x24 at 300dpi, or a 24x36 at 200dpi. On Thu, Mar 12, 2009 at 06:50:35PM -0500, Nick Wright wrote: > Really? W

Really? Wow. I had no idea. I found some web site saying that would just be enough for an 8x10, and I thought that's definitely more resolution than "just" and 8x10. Didn't realize it was that much more. Thanks. On Thu, Mar 12, 2009 at 6:47 PM, John Francis wrote: > On Thu, Mar 12, 2009 at 06:31
