Unusable in what sense?

The poor quality of the original scan seems to be emphasised when put
in OP. The background seems intrusively "pixellated" (if I'm not
talking nonsense), as though the wee Nigerians were on a background of
embossed wallpaper.
It is common for images to look poor on screen but be OK when printed. The cause is that they have a lot more pixels than the screen and a rough (but fast) method is used for scaling them to display on screen. When printing things are different.
