Can you get what "appears" to be a non-grainy image that would translate
to the correct printing size with Gimp and your particular monitor's
pixel density? Take a screen shot of that so there is all new bits to
work with, then upload the smaller file so someone that's more of an
expert Gimp user than I may have some ideas to clean up the edges.
I would think that you could find and trap the edges to a new layer,
then apply a slight Gaussian blur to it, rinse and repeat sort of
thing...
