  For best results pixels 72ppi pixels should be interpolated (created from
surrounding pixels). The only scanning software I am aware of, which
interpolates rather than grabs is Vuescan.  ("grabbing" being scanning at
high speed).

  I would scan at (least) 3x the resolution you really need, and intepolate
to 72ppi.
