Blury - 6/6/2013 10:09:59 AM    MsBJDanner2u   Posts: 6 Joined: 5/30/2013 Status: offline Hello, I finalized my invitations and printed them out. They look blury and not crisp as I see them on the screen. I also tried changing settings on my printer, using different paper and still no luck in getting it from looking blury. I also saved as pdf (to send as an attachement) to see if that would make a different and still no luck. Why is my "original" PS version and pdf version blury (see attachement "SW Invite sample blury from pdf") when printed? I did note that a jpeg version is clear when I view and print it - but that is not what I need. What am I doing wrong?:| Thanks for any help/advice you can offer.

It works great and is not blurry like the Broderbund PDF Document printer. http://www.cutepdf.com/Products/CutePDF/writer.asp _____________________________ Jason Carver Encore Sales Department and Customer Service www.encore.com For Tech Support, visit http://support.encore.com (in reply to MsBJDanner2u) Post #: 2

That is a sad fact. Print Shop 3.0 prints blurry! The built-in PDF converor makes it worse. quote: I did note that a jpeg version is clear when I view and print it - but that is not what I need. If you find the jpg version prints better, than that is your workaround. Print the jpg from another program, e.g. Windows print application, MS Word. The cute PDF writer does not fix the problem inherent in Print Shop 3.0. Print Shop 3.0 makes images blurry. I am surprised (but glad for you) that your jpg is acceptable. I have compared jpgs printed from numerous other programs to the same jpg files printed from within Print Shop 3.0. There is always degradation in the Print Shop version. < Message edited by ellengard -- 6/6/2013 3:11:55 PM > (in reply to MsBJDanner2u) Post #: 3

For example, here are two vector graphics with text. Even enlarged to fill the page, they don't lose their sharpness. Attachment (1) (in reply to MsBJDanner2u) Post #: 4

I just wondered what I was doing......... it looks so beautiful on the screen........... then when I print it looked like i wanted a blurry effect. At least I know it is just one of the things to learn and note to work around. Thanks again! BJ (in reply to ellengard) Post #: 5
