Re: [Digital BW] JPEG SIZE

Mark is probably right, but if you wanted to experiment, you could try copying
the files, saving
them as TIFFs, and then upscaling them using either an application like Genuine
Fractals, or
resizing them in Photoshop in 10% increments of increasing size.  If you're
using a RIP like
Imageprint, you may not need to get as many pixels per inch as you think in
order to get a nice
looking print.
