Your own tests show a clear differential in MTF, although only a small 
increase in resolution. In terms of image quality MTF is *vastly* more 
important than ultimate resolution. Look it up. In fact look up the whole 
matter of resolution and MTF and their relative perceptual value.

Understanding photography helps a lot here.

Your resampling down to 3000ppi shows nothing except the in/effectiveness 
of resampling algorithms. But you are looking at the wrong parameter 
anyway.

I am starting to feel embarassed about pointing out these basic 
misunderstandings, which I am sure you will only see as personal attacks 
and evidence of vested interest in rubbishing a potential competitor. This 
isn't the case, it's just that you keep coming up with stuff which is 
wrong. So I don't propose to comment further on any more of this nonsense. 
There are plenty of people on this list who do know what they are talking 
about, perhaps you will listen to them.
