Resolving the Poor Image Quality problems

Symptom: Photos on the cards look pixilated or grainy, as shown below.

Step Procedure

1Use high-resolution, 24-bit color images to always capture an image:

•at a 24-bit color setting

•at 300 dpi

•at the same size that it will be printed on the card (as captured either with a scanner or with a digital camera)

(Note: If a small or low-resolution image is stretched or blown up, a pixilated or grainy effect will occur when printing, as shown below in the right photo.)
