Topic awaiting preservation: Printing images together with text (Page 1 of 1)

I have some text I want to print with 3 images. I've put this all together in one photoshop psd file, but no matter what I try, the text looks very blurry/pixely. Can someone tell me in, in beginners speak, how I can fix this? I've read some other posts that seemed on the same topic but I was unclear to what the solution was. (I only have photoshop, not illustrator). Help this clueless fool please.

Thanks!

What resolution is the .psd?
Have you left the text as paths or did you convert it to raster?
What kind of printer are you using? What resolution does it print at?

-- not necessarily stoned... just beautiful.

Where's the text from? If you typed it into Photoshop directly, just look for the dropdown up top next to the aa icon.

Thanks for the interest, but I found the problem.

And it was terribly simply, but I'm a PS novice.

I needed to set the DPI of the image from 72 (the default) to around 300 and then print and choose maximum DPI from the printer settings (HP 8400). That did the trick, it looks great now.

Thanks anyway.
