The resolution can be set to 240dpi in Photoshop which is fine for all inkjet printers, including the ones that state that they are 2800dpi. Then you can see how big the image actually is and resize as necessary in Photoshop. Try to avoid increasing the size as the quality may suffer. I've just tested ICI's 280gsm paper which is stunning and well worth trying. A review is coming on the site soon. This should be set to Photo Glossy Film on an Epson printer and gives realistic colours with the handling of a traditional paper.
I've just had some of these done, direct from scanned photos using a Nikon Coolscan, and they were too contrasty and unsharp, yet the same images printed using an Epson inkjet looked perfect. I'm currently looking in to why this happened. The online processing labs are geared up to taking digital files from digital camera users and not from traditional photos that have been digitised.
