If you're printing the document, your maximum resolution will be limited by the
resolution of the printing device and the dot gain on the paper that you're
using.

Image Magic can scale images in batches so you don't have to do it one at a
time or anything like that.  If you're capturing the images from something, you
can even script it to automatically scale them.
