The best digital prints I have heard of so far are actually only ~300dpi
(Lightjet digital enlarger on to Crystal Archive paper). 304.8dpi to be
exact ;-) Check out this lab: http://calypsoinc.com/
I used them for Cibachromes years ago and they no longer offer that
service because they claim to produce *better* prints now digitally.
Hard to argue with their customer list. They also claim aproximately 50%
greater enlargement capability with this process than could be achieved
with conventional photographic process (Ilfo/Cibachrome).
The Olympus Dye-sub printers are 300dpi. For Epson inkjet printing you
only need 240dpi. Keep in mind, 300dpi/ppi is still a whole bunch of
pixels if you're printing a large print (like some of the banners
Calypso produces).
