Grainy when printed
Ive created a back-side to my company's business cards (using photoshop); but when printed - even on a laser printer at 300dpi - the image comes out quite grainy, with slightly grey pixels floating all around the image. Ive retouched the image many times, but these loose pixels wont go away.
If someone would be so kind as to download http://www.chilcote.com/cardback.jpg and recreate it in Illustrator, etc. so that the rounded edges are smooth, and it prints well, it would be *greatly* appreciated.
Once the smooth/printable graphic has been created, please either post the URL in your response, or email it to adam@chilcote.com. Thanks.

Already have. No difference.
I tried to download the image, but it isn't at that URL. It's usually a wise idea to actually put the freaking thing UP if you are going to ask people to take the time to download it. Go figure.
Go your own graphics, you lazy sod!
Do, your own I mean.

First, the image is, and always has been available at http://www.chilcote.com/cardback.jpg. Making sure you have the URL correctly entered is probably a good idea.
And as for doing my own graphics, obviously Ive created my own graphic here...just having problems getting it to print well. Im certainly open for suggestions as to how to get it to print clearly, but thought that it would be much quicker to simply as for some kind soul to recreate it. Any help is appreciated.

Pretty difficult to enter the URL incorrectly when I copied and pasted your own typing, both times.

Not sure what the problem behind this one is. I can copy and paste the URL from here to my browser and get there fine.
Ive posted it at http://206.13.44.201/back.jpg as well. You shouldnt have any problems with this one.
Thanks.

I have a feeling its the domain (chilcote.com). If you folks are having email problems, as well as problems visiting the chilcote.com URL, thats what is going on here.
Alternative email addresses are adam@206.13.44.201, and adam@metro.net.
Once I have a look at, and print out your image, the points and "A" grade are all yours.

Bumping the image resolution up to 300dpi, and spending some time editing individual pixels yielded pretty decent results when the image was printed at 300dpi.
Thanks.
Thanks.
i know im answering late (i'm new here).
changing a 72 dpi image to 300 dpi cannot be done properly on a 72 dpi existing image.
best results are obtained by recreating the image in a 300 dpi document.
the other way around (300 to 72) poses no problem.
