I'm frequently printing with quadtone inks on 13x19 paper - scanned on an
FS2710 and upsized in GF - does a great job (so to Johnny Deadman/Brownlows
sharpening filters - depending on the image, they can really zing em!).

I've also scanned 4x5 on my Epson 1640, upsized with GF to 36" and had
lightjet printed. It came out about 99% as good as a traditional print of
the same image, same size - but I had much more control over colour
correction and highlight detail (it was print film). As the scanner ain't
exactly top of the line, I was impressed.

At the NWT Archives, we have upsized images from the archives to some quite
large sizes - it has done a darn good job.
