> This guy prints only from jpg's files and only @150 dpi from 8x10'' to up to 40''x120'' claiming that where is no visible difference to printing larger than 8x10 from tiff's over jpg's files and 300 dpi over 150 dpi.
Sheeesh, lots of issues in your post...but I will address this particular one... 150 dpi = 3 lp/mm, assuming no losses in the printing process. If you feed the printer 300 dpi, there "should" be a gain in printing resolution.... but, this is where details come into play....
1) this assumes, the operator is printing at high enough dpi to lay down the added data
2) this assumes the paper and ink combination can exceed recording 3 lp/mm per mm... many non coated fine papers can NOT!
3) this assumes, you are viewing at normal distances, say 30", 3 lp/mm on paper is already a high standard, as its beyond what the eye can resolve at that distance.....more resolution would not easily be discernable, unless there was extreme lighting on the print.
> My dream is to have 8x10 digital back in size of 8x10 film holder: one side is 8x10 size sensor another side is 8x10 1600x1200 touch screen.
If you followed this thread, you will learn, a sensor this size will be greatly limited by apt. diffraction due to the long fl and higher f stops used on 8x10... its in conflict with the laws of imaging, hence why we will never see this product.... However, a 8x10 scanning back would be interesting....but this requires static subjects, in which case, its easier to stitch with off-the-shelf DSLR, better results and less back pain....
