How do I decide which resolution to select when I scan from Epson Scan 2?

• The software recommends a resolution when you select one of the following Scan Settings: Film, Document, Magazine, Newspaper, or Photo. If you plan to enlarge a negative or slide for printing, see the table below.

  Print Size	DPI required
  4 x 6 inch	1200 dpi
  5 x 7 inch	1600 dpi
  8 x 10 inch	2400 dpi
  11 x 17 inch	3200 dpi
  13 x 19 inch	4800 dpi
  17 x 22 inch	6400 dpi

  Note: Higher resolution settings result in larger file sizes. For example, an 8.5 x 11-inch original scanned at 300 dpi can produce a 24MB file. The same original scanned at 72 dpi creates only a 1.3MB file. Large files take longer to process and print, so consider the practical limitations of your computer system when selecting a resolution. To keep your file size manageable, select the lowest possible resolution that gives acceptable quality.
