Digital BW, The Print

That is what I do for the occasional large print, except I send the files
without the proof.
I also proof 100% crops, as you can’t evaluate the sharpening, etc.
otherwise.  To try and make it clearer, if I’m planning on sending out a 360
dpi print that is 24x36, I do all the adjustments, sharpening etc. on that
file.  Then I crop a section that will fit on the 2200 and print it.  The
match to a 9600 print on HPR is very good.  Of course you need a good
profile for the paper and your 2200, which you would want in any case.

Best regards,
John Moody

Perhaps a compromise position will work for you. Use the 2200 for your
proofing printer. That is, use it to get your image just the way you
want it. Then take the file (and your proof) to a print-for-pay shop for
that bigger print.

This is the best of both worlds. You don't have to buy and maintain (and
find a place to put) something like an Epson 9600 (or a LightJet with an
RA-4 processing line !), yet you still have control over the image and
can manipulate it as you need to, and get test prints when you need them.
