Tip:
As a rule of thumb for any image except line art, use scanning
resolutions that are one third of your output resolution. For
example, use a scanning resolution of up to 110 with a 300 dpi
laser printer and up to 170 with a 600 dpi laser printer. For the
color EPSON Stylus printers, choose a resolution from 100 to
240 dpi for 720 dpi output and from 100 to 150 dpi for 360 dpi
output.
r
Tip:
For printing on a commercial printing press, multiply the lines
per inch (lpi) the press prints by 2 to determine your scanning
resolution. For example, if your lpi is 150, try scanning at 300
dpi. (If the file size is too large, multiply the lpi by 1.5 to determine
the scanning resolution.)
r
Tip:
If you plan to enlarge an image when you print it, scan it at a
higher resolution than you normally would.
