Digital BW, The Print

Hi jerry,
A cis system is in the works I wanted to play around with quadtones some 
before I jumped in.  As regards the dpi figures...I gather that I can 
expect some pretty nice 8 x 8 prints from my medium format negs(6x6) at 
1600 dpi.  That leads to another question, should I print from a 8 in x 8 
in 400 dpi image or, once I have the image, should I resample until the dpi 
is closer to the print dpi of 1440?  I'm not sure I'm articulating that 
question clearly...

thanks

david
