Fred,
Make sure you create images which are "big" enough for the size of the
print you want to make, e.g. images 3000x3000 print really well on an
area of about 5in x 5in (600 dpi printing resolution).
Also, you should use some application in which you can properly resize
the image to print the apropriate size on paper. I've used adobe
photoshop and it does a terrific job.
Cheers,
Zac
