Hi Dawson,
Most offset printers print at 300 dpi. Therefore, for your image to be
clear, it needs to be captured at 300 dpi or higher.
Print Screen captures images at 72 dpi. You would need a screen capture
tool such as SnagIt to capture images at a higher resolution.
So all you need to do is to capture images at 300+ dpi and send them to the
printer.
HTH
