Re: [Digital BW] scanning question???

Jim, what size FILE do you have? It should be 2700 DPI. Then you must resize the print under "Image Size". If you don't, you'll print a 35mm contact-size print at 2700 DPI. When you resize it, make the length 11 inches, and do NOT have the resample box checked. Then you should get about 240 DPI at 11 inches. That's about right. Set your PRINTER to 1400 DPI, NOT your File size. Jim Panzer wrote:
