Digital BW, The Print

As I continue to contemplate a good strategy for my existing B & W MF & LF
negatives, and as Clayton Jones wisely suggested I consider a flatbed
scanner to do this with as I learn the process. Can anyone suggest a good
scanner for the purpose? Clayton suggested an Epson 1640SU which I
understand is a 1600dpi scanner. I am seeing that Epson now has a 3200 dpi
scanner. Since I am starting from scratch, I would like to know if others
consider this a good way to go. What problems might I face, or to put it
another way, what alligators live in this swamp?

 

Many thanks in advance.

 

Tony
