Oh, yes, def. Camera resolution is ppi and printer is dpi--quite a different ballgame. Image resolution up to 240 seems adequate, though 300 is 'perfect', but others, as I said, are getting very nice 8 x 10 prints at 180 ppi (that's image resolution, not printer). For the Epson printers, I always print at 1440, BTW. Most everyone on my print forums feels 2880 is wasting ink. I think you mean you are resampling your images at 300 ppi (pixels per inch--that means if you have an image 4 x 6, it would be 1200 pixels wide and 1800 pixels long. If you resampled it to 240 ppi, then it would be 960 x 1440 pixels -altho' it is not a good idea to resample 'down'--resizing and resampling are different though)--the printer is printing at 360/720/1440 or 2880 and that's dots per inch--and with the Epsons it has a lot to do with how the ink is laid down also.
