Realize that resolution is dependent on two basic factors, they are:1) client's requirements 2) service provider's knowledge of how to prepare any lower than film resolution for an intended output device.
These factors, in some cases, put in question some of the comments made earlier on this topic.
The archival issue is vital. It should be fairly common knowledge now that some electronic printing equipment and materials actually provide images with archival quality that is equal or greater than film and print material that we are used to using in traditional based photography. I strongly suggest that if anyone questions this they reference information in Henry Wilhelm's book on Preserving Photographs (forgive me that I do not have the exact title as my copy is in my office)
