The problem is not the printers but the scanners.I asked mr. Puts some
questions about this and he stated that most negatives contain about twice
the data a 4000 oversamled long exposed scanner can extract.Apparently one
cant compare dots with line pairs.Nice thing with printers is that they have
the same resolution no matter how big the enlargement is.also you lose the
focusing of the enlarger.Simon
