It's not perfect but the standard PhotoCD scans are fine for prints up to 8x10 and the Pro PhotoCD scans have worked well up to 16x20. The Pro PhotoCD scans also seem to have a better dmax than the standard scans. I haven't tried prints larger than 16x20. Supposedly these printers can interpolate to larger prints from my existing files but I haven't tried that either.
