Hey toolgirl ( when searching for photo's try and search for stock photo's )

All images work with DPI Dot's per inch

Internet images that are small got around 75 dpi~ when you scale those they get pixelated

if you try and scale down a big picture such as a stock photo ( most of the time 300 dpi or more )

just thought i share some of my wisdom =D

@sunynight3 Thanks for the tips - great advice.

do you need a laser printer for this?

[toolgirldotcom]

@JosieStanding No, an ink jet printer works fine. Lasers will give you a crisper image though, if you have access to one.

@toolgirldotcom no problem your welcome

@sirjulez2011 Yes, the images are clearer with laser, but ink jet is still pretty nice.
