You can print larger than A3 from a D 6 megapixel file. What Epson calls Super B (13 x19 inches) is easily achievable. I've seen good 16 x 20 inch prints from 6 megapixels as well. Find out what color space your printer wants and convert the file if necessary. Size it yourself. Interpolate it in PhotoShop using Bicubic Smoother. If the printer knows what he's doing, you'll get good results.
