Printing illustrations as cards from InDesign

[GingerTwentyTwo]

Hi

Please bear with me I'm a real newbie. I am creating illustrations (card designs) in Procreate on my iPad pro and saving them as psd's. The psd's are 300dpi.

I am importing them into Indesign into a card template so I can put my logo on the back of the card and print onto card. I check that the resolution is again 300dpi.

For some reason, the text in my images, and some of the edges of the illustrations look a bit pixellated once printed. It looks like a low-res image that has been stretched. I have attached what the psd looks like and then what it looks like once imported into InDesign so you can see what I mean.

What am I doing wrong and how can I resolve this?

Thanks so much.

Might be worth doing a search or asking on the Procreate forum.

Psd is rasterised on output from indesign.

The only thing that is honored is PDF or if you must an eps.

I'm not familiar with that programme that you're making the artwork.

And that's not to say that even your PDF from your programme might be flattened which mean it could be converted to raster.

Even if your image is 300 ppi, when placed in indesign and scaled that would affect the output resolution.

72 ppi image scaled to 24% would be300 ppi.

And the opposite is true a 300 ppi image scaled to 200% would be 150 ppi.
