Doug,
The main point to address is that for maximum quality from your slide
scanner files, don't make reproduction prints at all. Go directly to
optimizing copies of the files for the final reproduction process. In
this case, any print represents a quality-reducing 'generation' . Make
ink-jet prints for proofs and dummies and so on, but go as directly as
possible from the files you have to the separations needed (4/C,
duotone, tri-tone?) for the printing process the book will use. If you
want to make exhibition quality prints for direct viewing, as for a show
perhaps, then I'd say the two best bets would be to make negatives on a
film writer for standard enlargement, or go directly from files to Iris
(giclee) prints.
