I taught a pinhole workshop for a local camera club this past Thursday. One
of the exposures I made was a paper negative 35mm format!! which I then
proceeded to enlarge to 6"x6" size (a center portion of the negative) . I
had no problem doing so and IMO it held up OK, even when using satin finish
B&W paper, glossy paper would give "better" results I'd assume. BTW,
focusing on the grain of the photo paper was absolutely not a problem, it
was very much like focusing on film grain.

Never enlarged paper before, it is definitely doable.
