Mark the post as the beginning of the spam from China, the country with no
respect for copyright, nor little else in the domain of intellectual rights.
I would be surprised if they can be discouraged from spamming usenet.

Likely the same as spam from the US - the country with no respect for
anything other than expediency.

One of my pet peeves is "trial ware" that is called "share ware".
Used to be, "share ware" was something you could try and then send a
contribution if so inclined, while trial ware was... well... a tiral
you either had a limited version, or a full version that would time
out after so many days unless the proper S#, or activation code was
entered which you got by paying money.

I have no problem with either, but I wish they would use the old
naming conventions.

Maybe its 'trial" ware only if you share it without paying for it
in otherwords you get sued ;-)

Trying to find the name, he wrote a couple of articles in Yahoo's Epson Wide
Format group stating that he was printing at 720ppi and 1440ppi. Scans 4x5's to
4000ppi (Aztek drum) and prints at 16x20 monochrome. He teaches at the New
School in New York and tours with Cone Editions doing workshops. Been going
through archives etc. trying to get the name. But he is questioning the status
quo and backing up his theories with work. I find his work interesting and got
me looking at prints at 240, 300, 360, and 720ppi. I personally saw a
difference at 240 to 360ppi, 720 just didn't seem that much different and the
file size got huge.But I'm working at 360ppi more now. Oh yes using an Epson
7600 with the pieziochrome inksets.

I don't understand the comment either. I print to approx 50" X 65" with
a ColorSpan 11 head/color (quad K) printer with each head rated at 600 dpi.
The company insists that 300 ppi files are the proper size for this printer,
no matter what the viewing distance. And, actually, the prints are
absolutely gorgeous even on closest inspection.

It is interesting that his 5ftx10ft mural is only 360ppi, hardly heady
stuff.
The teacher at New York's New School that uses 2 gig files to print 16x20s
is
the one doing new stuff.

I don't understand, Tom. What large printer does better than 360ppi?

Tom,
Ive done experiments with different ppi prints, going up to
600ppi. see:
http://www.clarkvision.com/imagedetail/printer-ppi

I've done blind tests of people sorting prints in order
of sharpness. In good "office" or outdoor lighting almost
everyone gets the sequence correct, choosing the 600 ppi
print as sharpest. As light levels drop, it becomes more
difficult. I need to present the statistics on the
above page.

Pushing the standard accepted norm is interesting especially in conservative
relms like large format photography and printing. As i said I saw a plateau at
360ppi but it could have been that I just didn't have the res in the scan to
begin with.
