Gimp will give you a PDF and you can set it up for 300 ppi **but** Gimp is a RGB bitmap editor ( not CMYK) and text is converted to a bitmap (pixels) What you get is one large 'picture'.
Open your pre-PDF .XCF image, go to Image -> Print Resolution and check that you have the correct dimensions at 300 ppi.
The blurriness could be your editing of the medal and nothing much can be done about that. Another cause is small print. It might look great as a text layer in Gimp but not so good when it is rendered to a bitmap.
Not much you can do. Other printers might have a more relaxed attitude.
Sorry for being such a pest but I just can't seem to get this dpi/ppi data into my thick skull. (age probably has nothing to do with it!)
Is there some site that would help me "get it" better? I think I understand the concepts. Just can't figure out how to put it into practice.
Tried these: http://resources.printhandbook.com/answe...s-card.php & https://www.clickbusinesscards.com/faq/f...ution.html ...
I look at brandy's card resolution which says 100 dpi (print size). Everything I have been reading says 300 dpi minimum.
Should I just make a new graphic with business card size; 2.25 x 3.75 and resolution of 300 dpi? When I do that the width and height changes to .75 x 1.25.
