pixilated pics

[StrawberryMin]

Oh no, I printed my Mickey head disign, and it's all "pixilated", so I tried another disign and it looks similar. I put my printer on highest quality...what am I doing wrong?

Sometimes, depending on the transfer, the best/highest quality puts too much ink on the tranfer causing it to look blurry bc the ink spreads a bit. That happened to my sister the other day. Is it the image itself, or is the ink maybe bleeding a bit?

The picture is made up of lots of tiny squares...even Mick's head, when you look closely, looks like little squares on the edge.

Did you increase the size of the original image? If it does not have enough pixels to increase size smoothly, it will look pixelated. If you did, and you need it bigger, try printing it smaller (original size)....scan it in at 2 or 300% to retain the pixel density, and use the newly scanned image.

Hope that helps!

thank you, Megan, I'll try that. Since I was using an image I found on this board, I assumed it was ok to increase to a 5x7 size. It was a Mickey head I wanted to put on my granddaughter's shirt.
