Hi Moira,

About getting from a web image at 72dpi to a print at about 300dpi.

Try PhotoShop.  Open the graphic as the original psd file.  Click on image,
go to image size and open.  Uncheck the constrain box and then change the
resolution to 230dpi, then click ok.  What you get is a print size version
of your graphic.  Don't get excited though.  You can try tweaking that
version some by sharpening the edges and use the blurring tool some
depending on what graphic you are working with.  Your best bet will be to
use the new graphic as a template to recreate a new graphic at 300dpi but
this might be better than having to create the graphic all over from
scratch.

Second idea, print the graphic directly from the web site.  Then scan it in
with a scanner set a 300dpi.
