I've not had trouble getting sharp prints from sharp slides but
I had always considered prints from slides to be inferior to
prints from negatives *UNTIL* I discovered internegatives.

Reversal color print processes are not as good as negative print
processes. MY OPINION: Don't bother to flame if you disagree!

Good color labs will make an intermediate negative, typically
120 roll film size, but I've had pro labs that used 4x5 sheet
film. The subsequent prints are made from this negative.
Clearly this costs more and isn't worth the cost for small
prints but I would STRONGLY recommend this for enlargements
of 11X14 and up, even 8X10 if it's special to you. I think
you'll be pleased.
