"That's an interesting idea, but even extending the format to 35mm, with 300ppi printer, we are talking about approx. 400x300 resolution..."

I have an *old* Epson printer (Stylus Color 777, circa 2000-2001) and it has a max resolution of 2880x720. And that was a really inexpensive printer back then...

Those often quoted numbers are dots per inch not pixel per inch. A monochromatic inkjet dot couldn't be more than 2 bit colour depth, hence the effective pixel per inch could be much less. Dedicated photo printers are quoted with pixel per inch. 300ppi is as good as prints on glossy magazine.
