Why are my digital art prints saving so glitchy?

Like, I'm saving them as high quality as I can and it's not the pixels because when I print them they're still so jagged on the outline of the ink drawings.

Looks fine to me o-o
Only other thing might be the resolution settings? //Idontreallyknow;-;

Hi Zeiyne!

But look at the top birds left wing. The outline of it looks grainy ._.

Honestly I would never have seen it if you didn't point it out. What resolution did you upload it at?

Yeah, I don't really notice anything either, but can understand what problem you might be going through (esp. when you compare it to what you were drawing).

Hmm, aside from saving at a high resolution, are you working at a high resolution (maybe at least 300 DPI)?

What resolution did you print out, what's the size of the canvas (it's better to resize it down than the other way around), what filetype did you save it as, and what color mode did you put it in?

Ahhh... So that's why. When you're going to print out an image or a drawing, always make it bigger than the paper size. Waaaay bigger is what I suggest, that way, when it downsizes, it's not as pixelated. Also when you print an image, convert it to pdf instead of jpeg. Tons of details/info are lost when you print in jpeg. Pdf preserves that and makes it easier to print out without losing anything. If you plan on printing the image later on, do the drawing in CMYK because RGB is way off when printed in terms of tone and tint and stuff like that.

thank you so much. i know what rgb means but what does the CMYK stand for

Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black. They're the colors used in printing because RGB uses primary colors, and although they're the channels in our eyes, they're really strong colors so mixing them to make other colors is hard.
