I am not 100% new to PS. I am using 7.0. I have this ad that I will be running for my business. Problem is when I print it the text is a little pixelate/fuzzy. Not sure how I can go about fixing this. It's not too bad but bad enough. The ad is for a retirement community and I'm concerned with the seniors having issue with reading the text. This ad is going in a news paper. I ran a differant one last year and had the same issue. Even though the message got across to the public, the ad still was not up to how I wanted it. I have tried the seach feature on the forums here but could not really find much with my issue regarding printing ad copy. Most of what I am finding is for stuff that will be posted on the web.

Perhaps recreate the image at a higher resolution? If the newspaper doesn't have strict submission criteria, then try setting the DPI of the image at 200 or 300. That should give you a clearer image.

It's not super sharp with those adjustments. But it's better. I increased the output to 600 dpi and it will work. Thanks so much for the quick reply. I needed to get this out be COB today so once again. Thanks.
