Fuji X - Printing advice needed

[Rebus45]

Based on your printing experience, what would you think the (a) optimum and (b) maximum printing size would be, out from the Fujifilm-16MP APSC sensor, operating at the ISO 400-800 area?

Most thankful for your help.

a) try 2-3 sizes out and see by yourself: Printing service or inkjet printer?

b) Based on my experience, normal viewing distance is a huge equalizer. Sticking your nose on a 24x36 print is like staring at 100% monitor view in the outer edges to discover unsharpness.

c) I had an Epson A2 printer (3800) and A2 seems no problem for most cameras with 12MO or more.

Noted and thanks, Bernie.

It is printing service.

Just printed the image below (ISO 6400, Shutter speed 1/12 sec at 12x16, and it looks great.

I printed this image (ISO 400) at 16x21 and the detail is amazing.

I print mostly to 16x12 inch with highly satisfactory results having printed about 40 images so far with it, but would not be afraid to go to 24x16 ins maximum. Remember a lot is about the viewing distance, but on the basis I had no problem with my Nikon D700 12Mp camera at 16x12 the Fuji will eat that.

I print up to 16x30 inches on my 3880, which is actually a 20x30 inch cropped. I interpolate to 360dpi and use R-L deconvolution for RAW pre-sharpening and USM for output sharpening (avoiding 2 passes of USM). The results are nice if the image is nice going in. Several gallery directors and a juried show have accepted the quality of the prints with no questions.

Easily A3+ - (13" x 19") - did A3+ ages back with a 6mp Canon EOS 10D and sigma 20mm f1.8 - camera on tripod etc and printed perfectly - you wouldn't know it was 6mp!

So, I have printed this large at various ISO settings without an issue - ultimately technique and exposure will be a bigger problem - but I would just go for it
