Re: laser printer for diginegs

[Tom Kershaw <tom@tomkershaw.com>]

The printer has a native resolution of 1200 DPI. What settings in 
Photoshop do you suggest? 300 DPI in the image size dialog?  I've been 
working with the Epson 2100 inkjet printer with Quadtone RIP for digital 
negatives; inkjet printers seem to be the generally used devices for 
digital negative production.
