I'm getting ready to put together a new printed portfolio/self promotion book and I have a number of web pieces that I would like to showcase.
I was thinking about using http://www.lulu.com/ to publish it.
My concern is working the screenshots of my work into a 9x7 format book. Going from 72 to 300 dpi takes a 900x600px screenshot to a 3"x2" printable image. Not very impressive from a visual impact standpoint.
What do some of you print dudes recommend for working with screen res images to increase their size for a printed piece?

have you tried upping the size of the orignal psd / fla then printing?

I haven't given a print a test yet but that was my plan.

up the res to 300 and select "nearest neighbor" in the resample image dropdown so the screen stays crispy and doesn't anti-alias. used this method for many software boxes and they all look great.
