Well, the size is not the size of the post, its actually
3200x2400, so I can use 300dpi for the print.

I want to print it on a 600dpi Colorlaserprinter, but
I'm not too sure, if that'll work, so it'll probably be
a 300dpi Colorprinter.
Its not for me, its a gift for close friend.

And regarding the photons: overkill? Perhaps. But when
tracing in such an "overkill" size, and assuming that the
print will have an "overkill" dpi, I wanted to make sure to
get the most realism out of the image as I can get. Sure
needs patience for that...
