My experience with scanned and computer printed images is that they do not
yet match the resolution of film-based prints. They're close, but not
quite there yet. Their longevity is also questionable -- I believe I can
already see some deterioration of digital images printed 8 x 10" after only
two years. They are, however, less expensive and the resolution is
acceptable enough that I have opted for using them to send to newspaper
media in press packets.
For a recent exhibition, I used conventional film-based technology to
enlarge some b/w archival photographs to approximately 36 x 40". To make
an 8 x 10 interneg, an enlarged print, and mount on 5/8" foam board, was
around $100 each.
