On my flatbed, yes. Usually at 150 dpi. But now with the FS2710
obviously I'm only doing slides and negs, which is what brought up all
these questions.
I guess I'm missing the point here. If I were to scan even a 4x6
print at 72 dpi, and then want to display it anything larger than
288x432 pixels, wouldn't interpolation be necessary? Even more with a
slide or a negative?
