Hi All,

What is the optimum DPI resolution for 5X7 grey scale prints? I have my DPI set at 300. Is that good? I have also scanned these photos in with a scanner.

My Grandma has got some old photos that she would like me to blow up to 5x7's photos and that is why I am asking. I have an Epson Perfection 3200 Photo scanner and an Epson Stylus 900 photo printer.

Thanx in advance,

The higher your DPI resolution is, the better your prints will be....Go with the highest resolution available to get the best print quality.....

Thank you for answering my question Death by Jell-o.

I thought because my photo are in Black and White that there would be a standerd res at 96 dpi in order for my prints to look good.

Color has no bearing whatsoever on resolution.
