360 is claimed by some to be the native printer resolution for epsom printers, maybe thats got something to do with it??
Incidently Scott also claims converting to lab mode is lossless. Wayne

I was informed by an Epson rep that there is no such thing as native resolution for the current generation of Epson professional printers, and that with the current dithering and screening techniques they are using, there is a range of PPI one can send to the printer and obtain equally good quality results.
As for converting to Lab being lossless, this is a very old controversy. If Scott is saying this, he is only the second author of the lot I know about who thinks this. There are others who purport to have demonstrated that it is factually incorrect.
I have seen the idea elsewhere (forget where exactly) that Bi-cubic Sharper does a better job of resizing even when image size is being increased. Rather than trying to unscramble the omelet or depend on what others say, try and see. Duplicate an image with fine detail in it, increase the size and resize it using Sharper on one image and Smoother on the other. Print each result large enough to see differences (I would recommend at least A3 or Super A3) and observe whether it matters which one uses. For the range I've tested, just once a while back, I couldn't tell the difference. Since the resizing I sometimes do is small, I just go by what Photoshop recommends and the results are fine.
