The higher the resolution you select, the larger the resulting image file. For example, an 8.5 x
Tip:
As a rule of thumb for any image except line art, use scanning resolutions that are one third of your output resolution. For example, use a scanning resolution of up to 110 with a 300 dpi laser printer and up to 170 with a 600 dpi laser printer. For EPSON Stylus printers, choosefrom 100 to 240 dpi for
720 dpi output and from 100 to 150 dpi for 360 dpi output.
Tip:
For printing on a commercial printing press, multiply the lines per inch (lpi) the press prints by 2 to determine the scanning resolution. For example, if the lpi is 150, scan at 300 dpi. (lf the resulting file is too large, try multiplying the lpi by 1.5 to determine the scanning resolutibn.)
Tip:
If you plan to enlarge an image when you print it, scan it at a higher resolution than you normally would.
