Hello everyone,


I have spent some time on the internet studying about dpi, ppi,
resolution for a scanner and printer and digital image processing but
It's all very confusing for me since I'm a total amateur. So here's a
question for you pro's:-D


If you know that I have an all-in-one printer (a href="http://
www.shopping.hp.com/webapp/shopping/store_access.do?product_code=Q841..."HP
Photosmart C4680/a) that has following specs:
scanner resolution= 1200dpi
color print resolution= 4800x1200 from 1200dpi input data


and a paper photo (25x20cm) that I want to scan and print with least
quality loss as possible to produce an exact copy of the same size.


Which settings should I use and why? I can choose to scan at
100,200,300,600,1200,...dpi. But what I'm wondering is if my printer
can handle the higher scan settings.


Thanks in advance for teaching me


geez - you have room in your darkroom for a scanner and a printer? Wow!
Exactly where do you place these relative to where the enlarger is
positioned? And given their placement, how do you integrate their use with
that of the enlarger?


apparently I posted this in the wrong group. Sorry if I stepped on
your long toes guys. Are all darkroom guys so frustrated?? Geez geez
pff **** you

******
tsk, tsk, tsk...temper, temper, temper.

You digital guys always so easy to lose your cool? No sense of humor?
Can't take a dig or two? Really don't know to which newsgroup you are
posting? You mean you really don't have a scanner and a printer in your
darkroom? What a pity - I thought I'd learn something new here! Why so
sensitive? Tell me - what exactly do you actually see between those 0's and
1's?
