Paul:

Very nice image.  As for rendering for printing, I agree with David.  However,
a word of caution:  Be careful of the raw print file size, which is
substantially larger than the image file size.  I rendered an 8x10 image at 300
dpi (2400 x 3000) and it generated a 140MB print file that took
foooorrrreeeevvvveeeerrrrr to print.  The computer I used to print it only had
128MB of RAM and it printed on an Epson Stylus Photo 750 which isn't a very
high end printer.  These factors contributed to print time.  Good luck.
