Antonio,

The following, according to Jeff Schewe, contributor/consultant to
Adobe and publisher of Lightroom News, Photoshop News. He is also the
co-author with the late Bruce Fraser of Real World Camera Raw. 

I'm quoting from the DVD "From Camera To Print - Fine Art Printing
Tutorial" available at LL.

- The native resolution of the Epson Printer is about 360. He didnt
talk about different quality settings.

- He says that if the resolution of the native file is between
180-480PPI, just send the native pixel to the printer, properly
sharpened. The whole key to this is that is has to be properly
sharpened. With the Epson printer, you don't need to be upsampling of
up-rezzing, let the printer handle it.

- Apparently, HP has the same guidelines for their Z3100 printers.

In the early days of Conetech Piezography, circa 2000, the word from
the support person (forgot his name, no not Jon Cone) was to let the
PPI fall where it may when sizing a print and send the file to the
printer as is.

HTH,
