Re: Pixelated text when printed

Post by rob88 »

Just been trying out a text based design to press onto an iphone cover.

I designed the text in inkscape as a vector as that's the way I know how to add borders (linked offfset) around text. I saved as .png opened in photoshop and printed, However it came out very pixelated. Don't laugh at the noob ;)

What have i done wrong? lol

I assume it's got something to do with the size of the design originally in inkscape? I really don't know how to correct it.
I created it with a page size of 7x11.5cm for a close match to the size of an iphone 4 case which gave me a template to design on.

dont use "save as" try to use "export to bitmap" and set dpi for 300
