When you want to print scanned images on your EPSON ink jet printer or get prints done at your favorite film developing service, set the output resolution to 300 dpi. If you select a resolution higher than 300 dpi, printing takes a longer time but the output quality does not change.

You can also use the RePrint Photos feature in the EPSON Smart Panel software to scan images for printing. For more details, see RePrint Photos.
