I am amazed how many people think that getting the image on to a monitor or Flickr is the end of the road. That is just half the journey. Getting a image ready for printing is a very interesting process to say the least. Derek did a great job explaining sharpness in the context of a print. I just have one more thing to add. The amount of sharpening you apply is also dependent on the size of the image you want to print and the surface you want to print it on. For example if you are printing on a matt surface the amount of sharpening applied should be more than what you apply for a glossy surface. As to reasons why that will take a series of blog posts to explain. However Lightroom has done a great job of taking the guess work out by incorporating lot of what I said above. Just check out the settings under the "Print Tab" if you have Lightroom. Printing – the other half of the great image puzzle.
