THINGS TO AVOID
Web images are predominately low resolutions (72-96 DPI) GIF or JPEG files. This resolution is not acceptable for use in printing. Do not save images or graphics from a website to use in your print project!
Upsampling is when a low resolutions image is saved to a higher resolution with no changes in dimensions. Upsampling adds more pixels/dots per inch (DPI), but creates blurry images, ugly blocks of color, and high contrast in images. The only way resolution can be improved is by decreasing the image size, or by recapturing the image at a higher setting.
