Digital BW, The Print

Hi Steve,

I do this all the time and get fantastic prints up to and including
13x19. As sharp as film.

The sharper your lenses, the sharper your prints, just as in regular photography.

I have a 12x18 photo of my cat's face that is every bit as sharp as a
velvia scanned slide. Taken with the
Canon Macro 50mm lens, one of the sharpest lenses ever made.

Genuine fractals is the way to go. It's better than photoshops upsampling.
