Hi Tom,

You are right, it has been debunked for Epson printers at least.

The best results you can achieve are to scan at optical resolution, and
resize the image without interpolating/decimating, and providing the output
PPI to the printer is 240 or greater (and 180 or greater for large prints),
you're going to get the best/most accurate print you can achieve from that
scan.

Regards,

Austin
