Lenny,
Thanks, so the claim to 11,000 dpi is based on the maximum number of stops on the stepper motor at 11,000. You certainly will not get 11,000 of effective resolution from a 10 or 11 micron aperture, but perhaps scanning at 6000 spi - 11,000 spi, and then downsizing, might result in a better scan. Seems to be just a form of interpolation done in the scanner software.
