There is a bit of a misconception here. Scanning is poor when you enlarge
from something that was scanned small for a small-size output. If you set
it up properly when you scan (ie, the proper resolution for the desired
final size) you can scan a small print and make a large output that has
excellent quality.

Cheap digital cameras still lack the quality of photographs; expensive ones
do not. You would be amozed at the amount of high-quality catalog
photography that is done digitally. Again, it all comes down to resolution
and storage capacity.

Personally. I'd opt for color xerox for your purposes.
