Thanks for the replies everyone! With inkjets, I get more than acceptable prints with the quadtone inks and my 1270 at anywhere from 250 to 360dpi (or with photoshop really its ppi). I try to get 300dpi but sometimes with a crop or what have you it's not possible. has anyone noticed much difference with inkjets when printing at over 300 dpi (i have not)? I've also res'd up files using other software: genuine fractals and Qimage, and they both work very well for larger sizes like 13x19. (I prefer Qimage) That's why I was so puzzled at the 100dpi specs with the r'osity prints. but when you look at the pixel dimensions, it scales down close, at least at 11 x 14. I bet they have a program similar to genuine fractals, if indeed that's not what they use. also, if they use anything like the kodak LED print process, I can see how they get such good results (i did some reading this afternoon!) I just received a 16x20 from ofoto (using the kodak LED method) today that i had printed as a test, and the file size was actually only set at 240dpi, and that was after res'ing it up in photoshop. The results were stunning considering the file they had to work with. so, yes, the 100dpi at 2800x3400 should work pretty well, and in cmyk, it produces about a 34meg. file... thanks again!
