OK, I'm not a theoritician (nor a beautician)...but, I have two 24X prints
of the same slide, done on the same large format printer (an old 4 color
one) using the same inkset and paper.
One print is very much more "photographic" than the other, looks like a
grainy photo from a normal viewing distance...the other print needs to be
viewed from about 3 feet to look "photo".
The difference...is the scanner. One was done on a desktop scanner (3175
ppi), the other on an old, literally big as a truck drum scanner, by a guy
who really knows how to use it.
I don't know the ppi of that drum scan, but on the print it appears under a
loupe to be about double the desktop scan...so, probably in the 6K-8K range.

This is a difference you can see.
