They were printed at a quality lab (Auswide) and I was very happy with the results, coming from the lab it showed less digital artefacts and more softness like a true enlargement from film and it was quite pleasant viewed from around three feet away.
Back on topic -- just wondering -- perhaps the lab's printing process requires less pixels for a better image? Just speculating here, but I know dye subs have larger "droplets" and so need less resolution compared to inkjets.
Hm... then again, I might be wrong.
