Digital BW, The Print

Hi All,

I was reviewing some of my scans and noticed that there seemed to be a big difference in dpi on a lot of my final photoshop outputs. There are lots of variables, but in a nutshell, I looked at two separate prints, both done on an epson 1400 with eboni inksets. One showed at 675 kb and 72 dpi, the other 135mb and 1200 dpi. I scan all my negs at 2400 dpi as part of my workflow.

Here is the part I don't get. the 675kb print is equal in quality to the 135mb print. I have even had it printed on 24 x 28 paper, with no loss of quality.I am scanning 6x6 negs

So the question is, does the dpi that is displayed in photoshop relate at all to print quality? What am I missing in my workflow?
