Digital BW, The Print

So, for those of us who are not as deeply into the technology as many 
on the list, what is the "bottom line" here.  Is there any real 
advantage to sending files to the Epson driver at precisely 360 dpi.  
I tend to scan at the maximum resoulution for my LS-2000 which means 
the resolution of files printed at 5X7 or even somewhat larger is 
around 400 dpi.  

Thanks,

Steve
