Digital BW, The Print

Have you tried scanning in colour slide mode and then inverting in PS.

I have found this to be much better but I am using the Minolta Multi Pro

  A suggestion:
  Scan some test negs containing a grey card, white object and black
  object. Experiment with the gamma gradation setting in SilverFast
  (hit the general tab under options and Check the HDR ouput box). Try
  different gammas, maybe 1.4 through 2.2 and see which raw scan (once
  inverted to a positive image) in PS comes closest to the actual tonal
  values. This will get you a raw 16 bit scan that requires less moves
  with curves/levels.
