Printing graphics

[Neiro]

I'm trying to print some business cards but the graphic I created and
inserted into the template prints grainy. The text is ok though.

How do I stop it from printing so grainy?

What software did you use to create your graphic and what is it's resolution.
If you didn't create it using the tools within Word itself then have a go.
Look at www.drawingwithword.com or Mary Saur's site (Mary - I have lost all
my references, bookmarks etc. Can you post your site address here please) and
hopefully it might help

Hi,

Thank you so much for your response. I used a program called OPEN CANVAS
ver. 4.03 to draw my logo, then I copied it into IRFANVIEW, and finally
copied and pasted it onto each of my business card templates.

As much as possible, I would like to keep the logo I drew without having to
redraw it on Word because I used a special brush on OC to draw it with.

Thank you for your help.

Can you print direct from Open Canvas - what does that look like? What
resolution are you after? Can you do a screen dump of a magnified view in
Open Canvas, paste it to Paint(or evenWord)and crop it to get what you want.
Does any of that improve print quality
