From my experience, this isn't even right.  I get sharper, more detailed,
prints from scanning film and printing on my inkjet printer with Piezo inks,
than I got from chemical prints...and yes, I used very high end glass
(Schneider) and printed from Hasselblad negatives.  At least this is true
for me for B&W.  I don't really do any color.
