I am just getting up to speed with using PhotoKit Sharpener in my workflow and I am wondering on the best output sharpening to use for the internet lab I use.
Looking at their Web site, they list two types of printers; depending on the size of the print...
To quote them: -
( A ) "For small format work (up to 10"x15") we print on a number of FujiFilm Frontier 370 and 390 printers. These work by exposing red, green and blue laser light onto FujiFilm Crystal Archive photographic paper at 300 DPI (dots per inch). The fade resistance of the prints is rated at 150 years. "
( B ) "For large format work we use a Polielectronica Laserlab. This is a world-class laser-based photographic device which prints onto FujiFilm Professional digital photographic paper at 254 DPI. The fade resistance of the prints is also rated at 150 years."
What Output Sharpening would I use for the two options?
And I have to ask :) What would be the best workflow, including the sharpening, to resize a print (D70 6mp or D200 10mp) for a large format output (i.e., their 2nd option)? I am still not 100% sure of this area :(
Many thanks for the help
