I am about to send a few of my latest image proofs to a local lab for processing. They have a new 9800, compared to a 9600, and the latest version of Imageprint, which reportedly allows the use of 16bit files. I am curious to know if someone could answer a question, regarding this software?

I researched the Yahoo Imageprint Group for an answer, but to no avail...

It is my understanding that an Epson 9800 is capable of receiving files with a native resolution of 720 pixels per inch, since this can be set within the Epson printer.

If I send a file to print that is 16bit and set to 720dpi, will the latest version of Imageprint knock my image file back to 360, before it is sent to the 9800?

Yesterday I saw a print window within Imageprint, that seems to regulate the dpi to the printer with two settings, which are 180 and 360. My local printer struggles with these questions, since they must ask Imageprint, and they do not have great success in that area.

Just curious...

Thank you in advance,
