Digital BW, The Print

I have an Epson 2450. It is a great scanner for scanning prints and 
flat art and it is "OK" as far as a film scanning goes.. certainly 
worth the price. I was in the process of scanning some 6x7 
transparencies and I decided to do a little test. I took and unwanted 
6x7 chrome and did a scan of it on my 2450. I then cut it down a 
section of the transparency to 35mm size. I then took the cut down 
piece of film and mounted it in a plastic 35mm slide mount. I then 
scanned the slide on my Nikon Coolscan IV. In comparing the same 
section of film in both scans the difference is day and night as far as 
sharpness and pure detail go. The scan done on the Nikon Coolscan IV is 
so much better! I then repeated this same test with a few other pieces 
of film with the same results.
