Hello All,
Currently, I have a flatbed scanner can goes up to 1200dpi, and my printer can print at a resolution of 1440 dpi.
Which of the following will be have the best printout if I scan a slide and print wiht 4R paper?
1) Scan at a resolution of 1200dpi, scale is 1:1, and print using a lower resolution, to increase the image size,
2) Scan at a resolution of 1200dpi, with enlarging factor, and print using that resolution? (I am not sure what is the actual resolution the scanner will use, read from "A few Scanning Tips" that the scanner will use some interpolation method),
3) Scan at a lower resolution, with enlarging factor, so that it will use the maximum resolution, and print with that resolution?
If No.1 is a better choice, does that means that I need not to have a printer with such a high resolution, unless I am printing a scaned photo with a high resolution?
I have read through "A few Scanning Tips" and was quite lost inside there. Hope that somebody can enlighten me with the scanning.
Thanks.
