Ahhh! You want a magic machine ;7)

The problem you have is one that I would like a fix for as well.
There are a few tricks you can do with line weights if the
illustration is all vectors. But if they are scans, that won't help.
The other thing you can do in Photoshop is to duplicate and multiply
portions of the image the have large reductions on them, set the dup
to Multiply and shift it around by a pixel to thicken your lines.
Not a perfect solution, but passable.

I suspect there are very few situations were one answer witll do it all.
