For the best answer look up the Frontier on the net and see what the
specs are.  I scan at the highest resolution I can so I have a choice of
what print size I want now or later.  

What are you scanning, slides, negatives or prints?  I find that many
color prints from the "drugstore" machines only have the equivilent of
150-250 dpi worth of info on them to start with.  But then many of the
pro prints, especially the pro B&W from the early 60s have about
600-1000 dpi worth of info on them.  You can only get what is there. 
For slides, the slower film like Kodachrome 25 will show some
improvement up to about 15000 -25000 dpi scanning (drum) while fast and
poor slide film maxes out at about 1000 to 2000 dpi.  Same with negative
film.  The discontinued Ektar 25 was good for 25000+.  I've heard that
Techpan could go 50000 but I do not know of a drum scanner that will do
that even with optics.  

For sharp color prints I usually scan no less than 600 dpi (actual, NOT
interpolated!!) for printing the same print size.  My dye sub printer
does 314 dpi so there are a few extra pixles fot the program to use for
the best print.

Below is my "Automatic Signature Line".  

Kodak "Premium Processing" cannot seem to fill all of those 23x34mm
cutouts in the slide mounts on a regular basis.   Then they add
fingerprints, scratches and debris to the film at no extra cost! 
Additionally, they dropped their most unique color print film, Royal
Gold ISO 25.  I wrote a nice e-mail asking them to re-consider.  They
sent me a nasty, arrogant and condescending answer.  Now they dropped my
favorite film that I have used since 1963, Kodachrome ISO 25.  So...  I
ask myself "Why buy Kodak?"  I've both renamed my signature line and say
to them..

Good Bye Kodak!  

P.S Is there an extended character for the finger sign?
