Digital BW, The Print

Nikon has announced three new scanners, two of which may interest you,
the Nikon 5000 and the Nikon Scan V.

They are 4000 dpi scanner with better dmax than previous models. 
Stated DPI is not everything. Real dpi is, as is dmax.

You may find that your Epson 3000 printing better images with scans 
from one of these scanners.
