Scanningfilm is better than scanning prints, because in the first place, scanning the film is using the original image, but the print is a second generation copy.
The 35 mm film is a smaller original, so it must be enlarged more, about 4 times more than a scanned 6x4 inch print, to get the same image size at the printer.
