Scan Quality

I know this is off topic but i tried the graphics NG's with no replies.

What is the best dpi to scan photos at for printing to a glossy brochure?

I am using Vistaprints online service and wanted to get the best possible
photo quality.

Thanks

Ask the printer what they want!! 300 dpi will probably do the trick.
Possibly not RGB but CMYK.
ETC

These days 300 dpi is all they need...usually.

For your average household printer you are correct. But Printing
services use much higher DPI.

Maybe some older printers.

I just printed a huge poster and I mean really big, I asked the printer what res he wanted and he told me with the new processes they are using (don't ask...dunno what the heck he said) all they needed was 300.

I'll ask my brother tomorrow, he's been in the printing business for years...he'll know for sure. But I know that most of the last brochures I've had him print (full color & images) all he's ever needed the past couple of years were pdfs and 300 dpi images. Which is really nice compared to the old days!

I work with 2 different companies who print are CDs, one
using vinyl and the other uses screen printing. They both
specify 300 dpi and the results are just fine.
