Digital BW, The Print

Hi Michael,

Well, then it sounds to me that no matter what resolution you are using, the
scanner is being set to the closest native resolution, right?

24" at 364 SPI is 8736 pixels.  That's 4000 SPI over a span of
2.184"...which is just about the size of the image area of a 6cm wide piece
of film.  Is the chart you have based not only on DPI but on output size?

Regards,

Austin
