Is the Minolta dimage scan dual images good for printing?

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Imaging Resource Discussion : One Thread

I've been trying for weeks now to find a film scanner with the best quality that I can afford and finally came to the conclusion that the Minolta dimage scan dual(2438dpi,30bit,3.0D)was the right choice. So I went to the scanner store and talked with one of the salesmen and he said that the scan dual wasn't a good choice for printing, and that I needed at least 2700dpi,36bit,and 3.6d-range for printing photo quality and he recommended the scan speed which just happens to be twice the price! I own a Epson photo 750 and my question is for printing photo quality images ,will the scan dual give me the photo quality image for a 8x10 print. Please respond soon. Thanks
