Resolving problems with pixelated Photos on ID cards

Symptoms: Photos do not look smooth or continuous, but rather grainy and unclear.

Step

Procedure

 

 

1

Some applications have selections you must enable in order for the Printer to

 

use its own dither patterns. For best output, you should always use the

 

Printer’s dither patterns.

 

 

2

Refer to the application program’s instruction manual or contact the software

 

manufacturer for details on how such selections are enabled.

 

 

3

For best photo-realistic output, you should always use high resolution, 24-bit

 

color images.

 

Be sure the image capture equipment is capturing at a high enough resolution

 

and at about the same size at which the image will be printing.

 

 

4

If you stretch or blow up a small or low resolution image, you will always get a

 

pixelated or grainy effect when printing.
