Scanning and archiving your family's photo collection is an investment. It's going to be an investment of your time and energy, and for that reason, more than likely, you will only want to do this project one time. I believe it's worth a few extra moments to ensure your image quality isn't being compromised by rushing the process.
Open wounds need time to heal, baking dough needs time to rise, and photo scanners need time to scan. See where I'm going here? To fill the extra time, consider taking an extra long sip of your nonfat mocha latte, play solitaire, have a television on next to your scanner, or better yet — lightly dust off your next photo to be scanned with a lint-free cloth! However, if you are shopping for a new scanner, and you really want the fastest model, then I would recommend either the Epson Perfection V or the Epson Perfection V The really high resolutions, however — , and dpi — are really intended for capturing really small and highly detailed sources like film negatives and slides.
The Epson Perfection v, for example, is rated for x dpi of resolution. The second number is often the highest resolution it's capable of scanning digitally — faking the results by interpolating the data. Thankfully, some scanning software now won't even let you select the digital dpi's from the list.
So you may need to consult your specifications printed on the box or find it in the printed or. In the end, there won't be any benefit to having our entire collection in a digital format if we aren't able to make paper prints from them like we can with our film negatives. The larger the piece of paper you want to print on, the more image resolution you are going to need in your digital files.
Printers today need on average between and ppi dpi of image resolution information to print a high-quality image on high-quality paper. I know you probably hate math as much as the next person, so don't worry — I'll do it for you.
Here's my work:. Given a choice, without a doubt in my mind, it's better to scan too high than to scan too low. And if you don't want to take just my word for it grin , when I started learning all about scanning years ago, I found great comfort in this quote from Wayne Fulton of scantips.
It is true that if the image might be resized after the scan, it's always much better quality to resize to reduce the image size rather than to resize to increase the image size. Question Super giving me worse frames than a ?

They're a type of rating for how print dots are arranged print dots aren't arranged in a square pattern , and so print resolutions are now often quoted as x or x Nowadays, the main features to look for in a pro printer are number of colors for better color range or dye vs pigmented inks pigmented have been known to be able to be more archival, but certain dye inks are getting better.
According to Qimage, the printing program that reads the printer driver's calculations, Canon printers print at the resolution of about x DPI, where a Dot is the printed picture element that renders an image's pixel.
In other words, it's the pixel's equivalent on paper. When you launch a printing process of a given size, the driver calculates the number of Dots it is going to put down to fulfill your order and resizes the incoming image file so that the number of pixels exactly matches the number of planned Dots.
For a Dot to appear in the exact same color as the pixel it is rendering, the Dot is formed by a cluster of droplets of available ink colors.
The high resolution numbers from the specs are actually the number of those droplets per inch. A higher number of droplets per inch and therefore per Dot won't help resolve more detail. Along with smaller droplet volumes it allows to create Dots of high color fidelity from a smaller number of ink shades thus dismissing Light Cyan and Light Magenta as well as reducing the number of levels of Gray ink.
More info Feb 11, 6 For those that might be interested the A series paper sizes are an international ISO standard, not just a British or European thing. The most important thing about the A series is the aspect ratio, which is 1:Root 2. By having this ratio if you halve the paper by cutting it in half through the long axis you always keep the same 1:Root 2 aspect ratio.
The numbering starts at A0 and this is a sheet of paper that is of the specified aspect ratio, and is exactly 1 square meter in area. The dimensions being 1. The A series of papers are actually very useful, since I can use exactly the same page layout to produce an A5 leaflet as for the A0 poster.
Alan My Flickr My new Aviation images blog site. I just finished 'testing' my new Canon Pixma Pro I found that extremely fine details in the image printed smaller and clearer at 1, PPI than at PPI, but were slightly less clear at PPI pixels into 3". I then repeated a test I did on either an Epson or R, I don't recall, from many years ago.
I created an image consisting of a vertical, a horizontal, and a 45 degree single-pixel line, in each of CMYK and RGB fully-saturated colors. The printer cannot print at PPI, but does a fair job trying too. Surprisingly, this restored the color saturation while only slightly increasing the thickness of each single-pixel line from the size it was at PPI. I achieved similar results with the Epson printer, long ago IOW, these inkjet printers can resolve solid, saturated details at far smaller physical sizes than most photograpers can imagine.
I also didn't see any reason to upsample an image to get sharper details. This might change if you are printing at less than PPI. As an aside, this new Canon shades yellow tree leaves without visible black in droplets. The same print, from the Epson R, has naked-eye visible black droplets in the same leaves. I don't know if this is due to smaller dye droplets from the Canon, vs the pigment droplets from the Epson, or some other technique Dave, As for your question about dots of ink vs.
It has a six-color ink system, including a dedicated gray ink tank, onboard creative filters and front-and-rear paper feeding options — so you never have to compromise on image quality.
