Digital BW, The Print

Thank you for that informed dose of reality Roy.

As for noise in the extremes of scans, I see far less of it in drum
scans than any digital capture I've worked with.

But really, I think the reason that this discussion has reared its
ugly head again is that Cannon is suggesting that with their new
machines that 16 bit is desireable and perceiveable. Othewise why send
it over there. ( I wouldn't anymore than I would output 2880 with
matte paper). We were wondering if there WAS any advantage or whether
it is just marketing talk. I belive you've answered the question.
