Shannon,
If I am understanding your question correctly, most scanner software has a
setting for color negatives and inverts the image to a color positive
automatically during the scan. This is most helpful because you can adjust
the scan settings from the preview to make sure you are withing the ballpark.
Some software may come with profiles or settings for specific negative films
like portra. The Imacon has this.

jet print, you would still have to invert it somewhere along the way, or
the scanner would. So why not for four color separations? My pre-press guy
uses a real high tech scanner (but gives students a good deal) so the
scanner is not an issue. I had good luck scanning portra negatives on a flat
bed scanner too, though, in the past.
