No.  The 4990 non-interpolated resolution is 4800dpi,
but I suspect it's closer to 3000 dpi in reality.  The
12,800 dpi resolution is interpolated.

AnnMarie, have you tried scanning at 4800dpi and reducing
to 300 dpi?  I would expect the ultimate 300dpi scans to be
identical to what you're getting now, and the process should
be quite a bit faster.
