You will have to get the person who created the file to raise the dpi...because it can not be done otherwise, believe me I know, I get people wanting me to put 50 kbyte file they download from the internet on the sides of their trailers and the like...it just cant be done with any sort of quality.
There is only one way to raise the resoulution of an image. With a WACOM tablet and Corel Photopaint working hand in hand, you have to resample your image to 36 inches high (or some outrageous height) and then using the smear tools and airbrush tools, as well as all the rest of the tools, smuge, smear, airbrush all those big chunks of pixels into tiny ones.
Should take you....hmmmm, 8 or 12 hours of tedius manipulation.
Of course, you could refuse the artwork from the customer and make them send you a better image.
If you want to print a clear image, you have to start with an image that is 9 billion bytes, not 56,000 bytes like an image on a web site.
You have a lot to learn kid-o! hang in there, its a matter of training your customers the kind of file you need. That is the way it is with most customers, thus, this becomes another way to make money, by forcing them to let you figure out what you need and charging for the service.
