Hey TPF,
I want to start printing some of my 35mm negatives / scans somewhere around the size of A3 paper. As a lab develops and scans my film I would really appreciate some advice regarding whether or not the images are high enough res to print at that size.
The lab scans the negatives at 400DPI on a Agfa D lab machine which results in 2MB JPGs which are approx. 3000 x 2000px in size. I can then open the JPGs and save them out as TIFs which are approx. 18-20mb.
My Dad actually runs a printing company and they have some amazing machines which will do an incredible job of the printing. I just want some advice regarding how to supply them with the images, whether they are good enough quality, how the grain will look when enlarged etc.
Many thanks for your help!
