Tom -

I have made 17x23 on my 2200, but I prefer 8x10's.  The criteria would be 
viewing distance and I want people to come up close to look at my prints 
and to be able to hold them in their hands.  To me, photographs of people 
should usually be small and intimate rather than huge and 
overwhelming.  Other subjects, such as landscapes, might be more effective 
large and viewed from across the room.

Just my opinion.
