Glad this came up. I was looking at the Kodak RFS 3600, but am now looking
at the Nikon 2900. The way I see it, using 300 dpi as a rule, I should be
able to reproduce up to A3 on the work colour laser with either of these. I
know there are a few Polaroids out there, how about the Nikon 2900s? Any
experience on quality and blow up sizes?
Thanks

I have not used drum scanning as it is too expensive; its cost cannot be
justified for what I'm doing. If I interpreted what you have stated
correctly, and if I understand drum scanning properly, you're right.
As I understand it, an 8000 dpi drum scanner will produce just that,
8000dpi from whatever is put on the drum if it will fit on the drum. From
one big enough for 8x10 sheet film, that works out to a whopping 64,000 by
80,000 pixel digital image! That's a "make it Super Size" digital
file! Hmmmm, need an ultra high definition wall mural? Maybe an 8x10 view
camera is just the thing for it!
