Hello Helen, Because you have copyphotos printed using pixels via a computer system (socalled Kodak copy) you will not be able to produce clear copy images from these in poster size as they will be from 600 or 300 pixels per inch.. If you want poster sizes you have two options: 1. From the ORIGINALS have a colour-slide copy made (if in colour) or a black and white copy negative made, from either of which you can get a poster-size print made, because the negative has very fine "grain" and can be enlarged. or 2. Use the ORIGINAL to have a poster-sized copy made. The equipment will make a master which will be 28,000 pixels per inch,( sometimes more) so the poster will be quite as clear as the original small print. Of course, all the above apply ONLY if the original is also crisp and clear. For example a box-Brownie camera lens could not produce such a crisp original, and an enlargement of a box brownie print would be more blurry as the size increased.
