Digital BW, The Print

If you want to take the scan/ image content, character etc out of the 
equation, do this simple test:
Prepare an eps file (from Quark, indesign,Illustartor, Freehand etc) with
black type of various sizes, mostly small - to - really-small.
Rasterize in Photoshop at all the dpi you want to test.
Good choices would be 180, 360, 720,1440....  and anything else
that seems relevant. Print each separate file.

Look at the resulting prints- you will easily see the point past which
there is no more benefit to increasing file dpi. You will also see the
scary "low end". The actual minimum dpi will always be dependent
on the actual info/sharpness/grain quality etc  in the image itself.
