Blurry Fonts

[natz]

okay, so I'm new to the Print Realm. I've been designing for the web for quite some time but now I got a new job that involves way more print than I'm used to.

With that said...
None of my fonts are displaying properly. On screen, it seems a little fuzzy but I didn't worry about it at first. Then I started printing and no font is printing clearly. At first I thought it was the printer, but after I have pdf'd the doc, it is still way blurry. I've tried multiple fonts and not a single one displays cleary. I've tried playing with the crisp, smooth, strong functions but that didn't help either.
Any suggestions?

Try not to use Photoshop for printing fonts.

What resolution are you printing at?

What programs are you using?

I agree with cmont, don't use Photoshop for print jobs. You should use a vector based program like Illustrator, Freehand or Corel or use a page layout program like InDesign.

Photoshop text is great for the web, but not for print.

eek. bad girl. I know. I should be using InDesign, but ya know...

thaks for the resolution. I'm not sure how this ended up with 72. I thought I put 300. I guess it's my web reflex.

thanx for the help.

Check your pdf settings. Make sure you are using a print pdf and not an email pdf setting. That will get you everytime!
