Digital BW, The Print

Yea, I would rather send the file over there at 300 or even 240 than
have to resort to upsampling. Through the years I have been amazed at
how efficient the Epson driver is at functioning at less than perfect
file sizes. But, of course this is image and scan dependent. You can
get away with more from a drum scan than a 20D file or a nikon scan
for instance - or from a scan of a bunch of trees than a subtle tonal
gradation.
