Digital BW, The Print

Thanks very much. I am including the clear film border in the scan. I'll check the scanner settings.

Scan resolution isn't the problem.  You're clipping image data.  Check all
of your scanner settings to make sure that you clip as little as possible.
Sometimes black and white clipping points are expressed as a percentage.
Make that number as small as possible. It can also help to include some of
the unexposed film area around the image on the negative, since that scanner
software will now treat that as image material, and the film base will have
less density than any place in the frame that has detail.
