I own a photo enlarger that is capable of taking 6x6 negatives only, but I am little attracted to 6x9 format and 6x12 from holga pinhole.

My ultimate aim is to print and scan the prints if necessary.

May I buy 10x15cm paper and contact print and frame them.
Are you guys making any such prints? Can you guys share some scans of those prints?
 
Before I bought an enlarger I did a bunch of 6x9 contact prints just to see how they would turn out. I thought they were great (nobody else did) and then went on to purchase a couple of enlargers, build a darkroom etc. Beware, it may ultimately be a costly contact print.
 
Contact prints are the ultimate kind of B&W photography, but unless you are a Michelangelo, 6x9 is small - 13x18 is probably the best compromise. For serious contact printing look up Michael Smith and Paula Chamlee.
