I made tons of BW glossy prints for 25 years, some contact prints and used loupes on them. The good glossy paper was not that crude in resolution even after development. I have some contact prints made from 8x10 negs that the details look really sharp even under a loupe, way beyond human naked eye vision in the range of 300dpi. The maximum paper resolution was not always an issue.
