There is a big difference between screen resolution of 1200x 800 and having a 4000x2700 pixel slide from a 4k film printer (or 8200x5500 pixels off an 8k one). The earlier Film printers were not much with there small tubes (The current Polaroids have 7" tubes)
Compared to the screen the film printer has pixel overlap which tends to blend the pixels when making a slide. But even 8K is more than 35mm film resolution.
