Making prints from old slides.

3. There's basically two different options

One is to scan the slides and produce a digital copy from which you can make as many prints as you want. The other is to use a lab that will render a print from a slide.

For the first option you can buy your own scanner and do it yourself, although if you don't have that many it may not be worth the expense and learning curve to do so. Chances are you have a local camera store or professional film lab that can do this for you and there's a few labs online that will do it. There's a big variance on scanning equipment used and the skill level of the person doing it, so quality will vary.

The second option has the potential to produce the most high quality prints, provided the slides are Kodachrome which archives much better. If not you're better off scanning them as color correction will almost certainly be needed on faded slides.
