Scanning a print would probably be a better representation of the "real" print. However, since I usually print 11 X 14 and can't afford a large tabloid size scanner I scan negatives and adjust the file in Photoshop to closely match the actual silver print that I prop up near my computer. Someone more concerned with digital output would no doubt work very differently. I sometimes put a disclaimer on the web to the effect that the digital image is merely an approximation of the actual print which is much better.
