Using a NikonLS2000 or Polaroid SprintScan 4000 with a Epson 3000 printer ?

[paulgotts <paulgotts@home.com>]

I have an Epson Expression 836XL with a trans adapter and  I have a lot
of 35mm slides of my oil paintings from 30 yrs of being a full time
professional artist.When I try to scan a 35mm slide of my art  at 800
dpi with the Epson 836XL --"800 x 1200dpi" scanner and then make a 16 x
20 print with my Epson 3000 it is a little pixelated.
I normaly print 16 x 20 size on arches 90lb cold press watercolor paper.

I have been thinking about getting a35mm film scanner,either the
NikonLS2000--2700 dpi or the Polaroid SprintScan 4000--4000 dpi so I
will then be able to get a good16 x 20 print from a 35mm without
pixelization showing.

http://luminous-landscape.com/polaroid_4000.htm  has a good site about
his experience with the Polaroid SprintScan 4000
Do any of you ACTUALY have either scanner and how do you like it?
I am thinking about getting the Polaroid because it is 4000 dpi  and
would like to also get the Epson 9000 printer.
Have any of you ever taken a 35mm using the NikonLS2000 or the Polaroid
SprintScan 4000 and printed it out a 30"x 40" or larger print on a large
format inkjet printer with good results.

Thanks
