[filmscanners] Understanding dpi

["" <Bill0786@tconL.com>]

I'm a bit perplexed at what the dpi means on a film scanner. Trying to
compare apples to apples, will a 4000 dpi Brand X film scanner in theory
produce a better quality image outputted than a 2000 dpi Brand X scanner,
given that the output resolution is the same, say 1600 x 2400 pixels?

Or does it simply mean the 4000 dpi scanner will output a much larger
image than the 2000 dpi model?

Thanks for clearing this up,
Bill
