Just to add something I suggest to use tracing. If you can afford Illustrator, I recommend its Live Trace. With it you can trace your strokes. After tracing and expanding the result you can modify the strokes freely like they were drawn in Illustrator. See the following screenshot of the tracing result:



Unfortunately Inkscape (=freeware) cannot trace line art as strokes. That makes it nearly useless at this job.

Color-Select tool and select black
Select>To path
Add new layer
Select>From path
Bucket-fill




But IMHO you could have avoided the problem earlier. For instance, from your original:


Threshold (around 180)
Filters>Generic>Erode
Filters>Blur>Gaussian blur (5px)
Brightness/Contrast tool and increase contrast a lot
