"Export..." from PrintMater Platinum - 4/25/2015 1:00:19 PM

I purchased PrintMaster 3 days ago. No much experience so far, so I need help. I created an album, just to see how it works. (It works good.) I encountered one problem only, and I need help in order to print the album.
"Export...", followed by "PDF", then 3375 x 3375 Image Size of an album, results in extremely low resolution of images in the pdf file that PrintMaster has created. Any solution?
"Print at Home..." to "ABXPDF Writer" (it's "Print Quality" is 600dpi in properties) results in a pdf file of 300dpi, while I thought that for good quality I need 600. Recommendations?..

300 dpi is high quality for prints. Anything higher, the human eye can't easily see a quality difference. I recommend your export as JPG at 300 dpi which is the highest quality PrintMaster can render.

Your example of 3375 x 3375 gives you 300 dpi if printed at 11.25 inches by 11.25 inches. If you print it at 8 inches by 8 inches, the dpi goes up to 420.

You must use high resolution graphics in your project. Importing low resolution graphics (e.g. web graphics, Facebook photos resampled for screen view) into the project means you will still have blurry images when you print. No amount of saving at 300 dpi (or 600 dpi for that matter) can "improve" the quality of a low resolution image.
