My pictures and logos came out jagged and soft. Whats wrong?
Poor image quality is always the result of insufficient resolution in placed images. Trust us – downloaded web images will not print well! For small format printing, make sure that your images have 200-300 pixels per inch AT THE FINAL SIZE THEY ARE TO PRINT! Remember, if you’ve scaled the images up, that reduces the pixels per inch. Large format printing is more forgiving. Images require only 100 pixels per inch. Placed logos can often be a pitfall. Vector art eps files are always fine, but remember that jpeg files are really pictures that are not scalable unless they have a lot of resolution built in. • Tips on how to save your design files Make them print ready and acceptable for us to print.
