Default looking to pixeled

When you have an image and text in photoshop 7 how do you make it not look so pixeled when you print it. When I print you can see all the pixels.

There's really no way around it. Pixelation happens when you either print something that is not high enough quality (resolution-wise) or you increase the size of a raster file. You're probably going to have to recreate it.

Yes I was going to say the image was probably up sampled in PShop.

Sounds like it's alow res Image to begin with. You need to either recreate the text or get a larger resolution image.

I agree with zumo. A higher resolution picture would produce a better image on your t. Also, if you are just blowing up a picture that you have created from a small size, you aren't making the picture any clearer if you just stretch it. If that makes sense. Also, you should try using bit-maps if your image isnt too complicated. Bit maps scale a lot cleaner than images.
