Is 600 DPI the right choice for a 8 x 10?
For a 8 x 10 print, 600 DPI is the archival answer. The scan holds every detail the paper does, reprints at 16 x 20inches without loss, and gives restoration software real data to work with. Scan once at this setting, keep the master, and the job never needs doing again.
