If you find that you can do most of your levels and curves correction with
your scanner software, then no. But if you find that you are doing a lot of
correction in your image editing software, then probably yes.
Whenever you adjust levels or curves, you lose data. Losing a few levels in
your histogram is unnoticeable in the print. Lose a lot and you may get a
bit of visible posterising. So it really all depends on how good your
scanner software is in choosing the best 8 bits. For printing of course you
need only 8 bit data.

Subject: Help- 48 bit vs 24 bit RGB
Dear Scanners,
For someone who is scanning to print to a ink jet printer, will there be
significant improvements by scanning at 16 bit versus 8 bit. I have a
Minolta
Dual Scan II and VueScan 6.2. The large files produced by the 48 RGB
files scans pose a challenge for my Dell 733 and my patience.
Thanks,
Al MacKenzie
