Digital BW, The Print

Paul,

I did a comparison last week of 1440 and 2880 on a small photo I was 
restoring. I was using the nc curve in Windows and printing on a 
1280. I didn't take the time to experiment further and didn't try to 
really analyze what was going on, but I concluded that the 1440 
actually looked a little better than the 2880. It may even be that I 
had a setting wrong somewhere, so I'll do the comparison again in the 
near future.

The customer wouldn't have seen a difference and I had to look pretty 
hard to see it from a viewing distance of perhaps 15-18". I was 
printing on the Epson SFA 425gsm paper.

Have you or others done any real world comparisons of prints at 1440 
vs 2880 yet?

Tom
