The Problem is Images are Low Resolution

If the resolution of a print is lower than you expected…

Some applications rasterize images at low resolution to show them on screen. This is because there is no need for an on-screen image to have a higher resolution than the screen itself. Before printing an image from an application that does this, rasterize the image at high resolution.

See your application documentation for information about whether on-screen images are low resolution, and for details of how to create a high resolution image for printing.

Note that, if you are using QuarkXpress, images with large file sizes will always be printed at low resolutions. This is because QuarkXpress manipulates Encapsulated PostScript using a preview of the image rather than the image itself, and prints using the preview, which is PostScript, rather than the raster version of the image.
