Weigh your opinion, You need to print 20x30 photos, from a 6x7 slide photo, Scan and print or optically print? I need the best quality and weighing investing in a scanner or a enlarger. (colour)
 
Highest quality? Either Ilfochrome print by someone who is really talented and probably very expensive, or find someone with a stash of inter-negative material and the skill to use it. Alternatively, a high resolution scan (minimum Nikon 8000/9000, but drum scan better) plus top notch post processing and pro-lab RA4 print.

If you haven't done this sort of work in the past, a 20 x 30 is not the place to start :smile:.
 
Feel free to take this over to DPUG, but it is not a topic we'll be covering on APUG.
