Hmmm.. 99% wouldn't know what inks or paper you used if you didn't tell 
them either.. In that case, by your argument, we should be using the 
1270 OEM inks and printing on photocopy paper, as long as the public 
likes and appreciates the image..

Sorry, that's just wrongheaded.

I assume you do all your cropping in camera too? Because if you are 
going to crop an image, having a 4000 dpi scan makes a BIG difference.

Or if you intend to crop...
