If you created the print file with the same screen scraping technique
you used for the portrait of the baby then I am not at all surprised.
That technique creates a low resolution image with maximum vertical
resolution equal to the vertical resolution of your display screen
(assuming you displayed the image full screen, even less otherwise)
A good quality print should have 250-300 pixels per inch. If the image
was full height on a screen with 1080 vertical resolution that's only
enough to make a print about 4" high. Blowing it up to 8" would have
some deleterious effects. Otherwise I don't know why your E3 should be
producing obvious noise at ISO 250 and modest magnification such as an
8x10. Of course, we don't know how much you cropped vertically.
