Epson has a formula that suggests that you take the ratio of the lengths of the input document and the largest desired output document and divide them, and multiply by 300 to get the desired resolution. Thus to take a 4x6 to 8x10 go for 600 dpi. For 35mm slides to go to say an 8x10 it would be 2400 dpi, and to go to 16x20 5100 dpi.
