Another teknique to keep in mind if using a drum scanner is to open up 
the aperature a step or two over the default with any selected dpi. For 
example if using 4000dpi for a scan on a Howtek drum scanner the 
aperature will default to 6 microns, however manually opening the 
aperature to 13 microns or even 19 microns will reduce grain very 
substantially without too much affect on resolution. This can of course 
be used in combination with any of the other methods discussed.
