Digital BW, The Print

Yes, We all have standards and those depend on the image. So if these hold a
special place in your heart, I'd agree with Stephen and try a "save as"  to
TIF and upscale in PS to a little larger. You can also use Lightroom to
resize and see if that makes you happy. Lastly your output would be best
served by using a RIP or Qimage. The 50KB file is just too small for my
taste but some 800KB can get to a 8x10 if the subject works OK.

 

I also suspect that noise may be a big issue as well as the pixilation.

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.
