What DPI did you set? 3,75in at 72 DPI will look fine on screen, but terrible printed, while at 300 DPI it'll look somewhat large on screen, but will print fine. I didn't set any dpi, just assumed it wouldn't degrade the quality. I will look for this setting in the print options and see if it solves the issue.

[Gimp-user] Print Quality Poorer than Word?
The graphics guy sent me our logo as a .jpg so I created a new file with the appropriate dimensions in the lasest GIMP for windows. I imported and scaled down the logo to the appropriate size and placed it at the top, finished adding the text, combined the layers and exported as a .tiff for the printer. The logo and text resolution on the print out was terrible... I tried printing it in the original GIMP format and as jpeg... same quality. I then tried created the same add in Word 2007 and the image and text quality was excellent :( I am a linux user and was rather frustrated and confused when Word produced better print quality than GIMP. Any explanation or help greatly appreciated. Thanks -B -- -B ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
