Hi Doug: I own the Epson 600, but ironically I have used it way more for document scans than photos and slides. I have tried some slide test scans, and I find the quality ok, not great. I think the 600 is pretty decent for scanning print photos though.
But the real reason for my response is twofold: 1) If I had a slide and I wanted a print, I’d take the slide to a place that makes prints from the slide—like in the old days. I don’t know that I’d want to fuss around with scanning a bunch of slides, and if I had to do a lot, I’d use a service, provided I had the money. 2) When I read your post, I thought of all my dad’s slides and the family slide projector and all the nights when the family sat around with popcorn viewing the slides. That was a lot of fun. And after I read your post, I thought maybe instead of scanning slides, it might be more fun to secure a slide projector and have slide show night—invite people over—family and friends—order a pizza—have some laughs and giggles. And if folks want a print or two, start a list, nothing extensive, and use a service to make them a nice print. With my own dad’s passing, I just may follow my own advice here—secure a good working slide projector—and invite people over.
