Resolving the poor Image Quality problems
Symptom: Photos on the cards look pixilated or grainy, as shown below.
Step Procedure
1 Use a high-resolution, 24-bit color image to always capture an image at a 24-bit
color setting, at 300 dpi and at the same size (that it will be printed on the card,
as captured either with a scanner or with a digital camera).
(Note: If a small or low-resolution image is stretched or blown up, a pixilated or
grainy effect will occur when printing, as shown below.)
