Well it’s 3K or 3.2K if you want to describe it that way, but the most common 4K 35mm scanner is the Blackmagic Cintel and it’s not as good since it has a rather noisy camera that hasn’t been changed in 4 or 5 years. So getting a better 4K scan in Europe right now isn’t that easy. Most other 4K scanners aren’t designed for prints either, so they have a range of issues dealing with print that they don’t have with negative. Most of the 4K places you have seen or talked to probably won’t be able to do as good a job.

The resolution doesn’t really matter I might add, your print won’t resolve a full 3K let alone 4K so you won’t be missing much detail. Scanning at higher resolution can improve the debayering but not much else.

Good luck, and again you will be happy with this scan, this scanner works really well with prints.
