Have just turned up new film scanner and Epson 1520 printer - very impressed
with the printer output via Photoshop 5. The Printer does up to 1440DPI and
will print on paper 17"X44" if you really need it and 17"X22" sheet fed -
will also print on as small as 4x4. Also, no lines or evidence of printer
interference with the image. Now all I have to do is dial in the proper
curve for contrast.
