Note that the scan quality is highly dependent on the condition and age of the film and the sharpness of the camera used to take the original photo. We will try to make sure C41 scans are close ‘print ready’ as there is automagical IR dust removal (Digital ICE) For B&W and old slides, this may not be possible owing to no automatic dust and scratch removal. Typical 35mm scan resolution is 5400x3600 allowing for prints of 2x18” @ 300dpi with no quality loss. You can print larger depending on viewing distance, up to A1 size @ 125-150dpi.
