Dust on scanned photos

[jkarar]

Hello. I recently got a new Dell laptop with a very good high quality 17" screen. When I was looking at my scanned photos on the screen of my old Dell laptop (15" screen), they looked perfectly fine. But now when I view the same photos on the screen of my new laptop, you can see every single little flaw (dust, scratches, spots, etc.-but mainly the dust). My question is will all of these little flaws show up when it's printed in a Classic book? I thought I was ready to start making my book with all my scanned photos but now I'm wondering if I need to take all of them into Photoshop and get rid of every single speckle of dust. Can someone please advise. Thank you!

P.S. When I print these scanned photos on a xerox color copier, you can't really see the flaws-at least not the dust.

If you have a lot, it may be easier and faster to re-scan. The glass should be cleaned first, then every so often. ALL photos pick up dust--you can see it under a magnifier. You need to wipe the photos before scanning also.
