Did you view it at 100%?

That is the only way to be sure that you are seeing the true pixels that will print.

Make sure the brush tip you’re using doesn’t have any other attributes active in the Brush Palette.

You just want a simple, hard, non-fading brush tip, with spacing set to 25% or less.

that doesn’t seem to be the problem. that wouldnt explain why certain strokes aren’t showing up at all.

"that wouldnt explain why certain strokes aren’t showing up at all."

It certainly could.

Have you unchecked all extra attributes from your brush tip shape?

Your Brush Palette should look like the following image:

and 1000 pixels really isn’t all that much, try a higher resolution
