We have a $50,000 Metrum (sp?) printer at work which takes up to 10MB files
and prints them on photographic paper. It's maximum resolution is 200 dpi.
Somehow it blends the pixles together so it looks like a print from film.
The only problem is that the stars don't seem to be as sharp as film to
paper print.

I can get a few prints from those guys if I don't over do my welcome. :-)
Maybe I'll take the eclipse photo in there.
