Re: Resolution and DPI for scanning prints for Aperture photo book

I'm scanning an old folder of prints with a view to making an Aperture
photo book of the prints with captions and notes. What would be a good
resolution and dpi setting to balance a good quality print vs. scanning
time. In the past I've used 600dpi but wasn't very impressed so would
welcome further expertise and experience on this area.

At the moment I'm scanning at 1441 dpi for big tiff files that I will
subsequently scale and convert to jpg before importing into Aperture. Any
thoughts on this would be welcome.
