Digital BW, The Print

Can I ask what types of paper people are using to print at 2880?  Like
someone else mentioned, I used mat paper but had to set the paper setting to
something else to get 2880 as an option and the print was much lighter?
Thanks.

Jim

Shilesh,

2880 dpi is recommended for printing smaller prints; the detail in the
prints is smaller and therefore smaller dots placed more accurately will
bring out that detail. I find that 2880 also gives much smoother prints at
18x12 under a loupe, but whether that is visible to the naked eye at normal
viewing distances is debatable.
