Digital BW, The Print

I get better results with 48bit RGB scanning, picking only one of the three
channels, for the following two reasons:
 
1) Channel noise.
2) Channel disalignment.
 
Typically, although both issues are obviously scanner dependent, one of the
channels is the best in the noise department, and the three channels are not
perfectly aligned. Using *any* channel mix will therefore degrade the final
image, unless you only pick a single channel (i.e. a 100% 0% 0% mix).
I repeat that you should verify how much your own scanner suffers from these
problems, but they are visible in both my Canon FS4000 and Epson 3200.
