I've seen your postings for a while, so you've been around long enough
to know about anti-aliasing? Let's assume that isn't the problem then.
=46or print, you should work with inches rather than pixels. You'll need
to start over and create the logo according to how big you want it to
be on the printed page in inches (at least the equivilant if you want
to work with pixels). Also, it is best to create a print graphic at
300 dpi rather than the web standard of 72 dpi. Then, when you save
it, you need to save it as an uncrompressed image, such as bmp or tif.
You'll get the clarity you need for print then. Feel free to write if
you need more details.
