In my case, this means scanning at 2400 dpi with the HP Photosmart and printing the resulting 25MB file at 1440 on the Epson Stylus Photo 700 printer. Depending on the final image size, the file being sent to the printer is about 300 dpi. How do you arrive at a 150MB file size from a 35mm negative or slide???
