Re: Scanning to Printing...

2001-10-21 by lyonscox@mindspring.com

I was wondering if people are using the Epson Stylus RIP to print 
their photographInk prints?  I don't seem to have mine installed 
correctly.  Just another reason to be eager to see the print 
exchange, see how far off I may be.


A link that corroborates the 240 to 480 dpi.  Not that it needed 
corroboration :-)

Another question.  To know that I have the image scanned 
correctly...wouldn't the Photoshop/Image Size-resolution be between 
our 240 & 480 for quality.  Or to ask another way, where do I confirm 
in Photoshop the resolution of the scan?

I have doubts that...I just have doubts really. 
 
Thanks,
Cleavis
