When I first used my Epson 1270, also 1440dpi, I got some funny looking
results. I thought it might have something to do with the
interpolation/resampling the printer driver has to do to print a photo
of fixed size and a dpi different than its own. I tried printing at even
divisions of 1440 only and found it solved the problem. I use the
Photoshop Image Size command, turn of resampling, put in appropriate dpi
and see what size the image becomes. One could probably try Photoshop's
resampling to get both the size you want and a dpi you want, but I haven't.
Dpis I use are:
1440/2 = 720
1440/3 = 480
1440/4 = 360
etc.
I don't know if this will help, but your problem sounds similar to the
one it solved for me.

I used the photo at
http://www.threeshoes.co.uk/comment/Photo_Comment.html
as the cover for a Christmas card recently and it gave me some
problems. The shadow areas, particularly around the baby's head came
out with a different reflectivity from the remainder of the photo. In
addition, the print showed coloured grain around the baby's forehead
(and in other areas).
I used an Epson Photo Stylus 750 at its full resolution of 1440dpi,
the resulting print was a bit less than 6" x 4" (10 x 15 cm) in size
on Ilford glossy Inkjet paper and the file that I printed had a
resolution of 400ppi, scanned from a 35mm negative (Fuji Superia
200). The file does show the grain when I view it at 100%, but not to
the same extent.
Can anyone tell me (admittedly not having seen the print ;-)) if I am
being fussy, if I underexposed that part of the film too much or if a
greater resolution printer would do better?
