I send my best prints to a service lab who prints with Fujix 4000 continuous tone printers. This gives about 11x16 from a PhotoCD scan which is 2048x3072 pixels and 18 Mbyte. I've compared custom and digital prints from the same negative and while the custom are barely sharper than the digital, the color quality of the digital is much better. Craig W.
