I've been working with files made from scans made on an LS 4000. On
NikSharpener Pro, Printer- 720x720dpi, Printer Quality- Above Average, Eye
Distance- Large Box. My files are in the range of 50 to 60 M. I am then
using them to make 13x19 prints on an Epson 1270. Usually, I use "John" as
my degree of sharpening, although sometimes when I want less, I use "Anna."
When I use digital ICE, which softens an image, I often use the highest
level, Zap. I do tend to like my prints to be crisp and quite sharp. I
have found that there are times when I need to tweek the results. Then, I
just go to unsharp mask and slightly adjust either Amount or Radius. The
method suggested by Todd Flashner in a recent post is something that sounds
very good and I'll give that a try if needed.
