Digital BW, The Print

Barry, you might try enlarging to 20x20 with GF and then printing, say a
12x12  portion of it on your 1280.  You should be able to judge if the
quality is then acceptable before spending money for a lab print.  If your
final output size is 360, then you have 360x20=7200 for the big print,
starting with 1600 for the scan.  I use GF with success for smaller
increments.  I would be surprised if the 20x20 works out, but you never
know.

Regards,
