It depends on how good your pictures are.  If dpi numbers are a sine qua non for
them, no matter what the photos look like, I tend to question their priorities.

Of course, a compromise may be in order.  However, unless you do a lot of
business with a client or are making lots of money for the business you do, it
seems that going out of your way to provide the images in the specific format he
wants may not be cost-effective.  For example, I have 2700-dpi scans of my
photos that I prepare myself.  If that's not good enough for someone who wants
to license a photo, he's going to pay at least an order of magnitude more for a
drum scan, and still more if he actually wants a slide.
