RE: [Digital BW] Print Quality From A Nikon D1

2002-05-27 by Austin Franklin

Hi Jim,

An A3 is ~ 11 x 16, and 2.6M pixels is ~ 1k x 1.6k which gives you 1024
across 11 inches, or less than 90 pixels per inch to the printer.  IMO, that
is insufficient to be called high quality.  High quality would be about 240+
pixels/inch to the printer.  Of course you can rez up anything...but does
that really give you a quality image?  IMO, no, but some people believe it
does...
