Hello everyone,
I’m trying to create a logo in Photoshop CS (Mac OSX), and no matter what size or resolution it still look grainy when printed out.
My experience is with graphics for web, so first thing I did was create a new graphic 640×480 and 700dpi. I made the logo using antialias for everything — it’s mainly just two lines and some text. I found that a print preview showed my logo at about 2 inches by 1 inch on the page, so I changed the size to 5 inches by 3 inches (or something close) and kicked the resolution up to 1200. It looks better, but solid colors are still grainy when printed. Kicked it up to resolution of 2200 and same thing.
How can I make a logo I create come out crisp on the printer? What resolution and size should I use? I even kicked up the resolution to 2000 and tried to recreate the logo with the same results. It looks great on screen, so just wish the printer showed the same thing.
Thanks —
Alex
