The differences between 2K, 4K and 10K are shown on page 20 of this document, which is great reading for anyone wanting an overview of film scanning.

I finally got around to reading this - the parts I could understand, anyway. 

As I understand it, scanning a 16mm print at 4K is ideal, but 6k is the minimum adequate for a 35mm negative. That said, if you get your hands on any 35mm prints, would you be scanning at 4K, 10K, or something in between?

Apologies if you have addressed this elsewhere.
