Hi all, I have a PDP-11 print set (MP00196, M9301
Bootstrap/Terminator) which
is not online. I wish to scan my copy, and donate the scan to all the
repositories. What resolution should I scan it at?
I looked at a couple that are available as TIFFs, and they claim to be 600 dpi
- that can't be right, is it? If it is, no problem, I'm happy to do it at that
resolution, but I just don't want to do silly overkill.
I'm a few days behind on my reading, but I'll chip in anyway.
I'd vote for 600dpi B&W G4 encoded. As has been said, these days disk
space is cheap and bandwidth is readily available.
Anyone who wanted 300dpi for some reason could (in principle)
post-process to achieve that. Going the other way
only ever happens on CSI :-)
