Digital BW, The Print

As Phil mentioned the 350 number is incorrect. Also, there are many
pre-2200 Epsons that have a native res of 360.
However, the notion of a reres to those numbers is driver dependant.
Tests are advised, and if you see no advantage to reresing your files
to print it's best to keep them at their native (scanner or camera)
res. Someday you may have a different driver, or a bigger printer, or
one with a different native res.
With some drivers, interpolation errors from unusual dpi's have been
reported, the Qimage users report their own circumstances, and I find
that the RIP here does the best job of scaling from any input file
size/res on it's own.
Best to test.
