I have a project which required printing on magnetic vinyl. I received a sample from the printer and the quality is awful, pixelated and grainy (see attached sample). The printer is usually excellent, but they cannot figure out the problem, and the manufacturer is unhelpful. Can anyone shine a light on how I can get better print quality? Printing from a PDF X1a file, with high res images and vector artwork.





Edit: 600dpi tiff conversion solves the issue. Here is a sample of the reprint with proper quality;

Export the file in tiff format with a dpi of more than 600

You can not do anything.

Some printers simply have a low DPI. Dots per inch... in this case the droplet of ink is simply big. They are probably using a different printer than the one you are used to, probably because of the width of the magnet.

One thing you can do is print on adhesive normal vinyl, that is thiner, and paste it on a blank magnet.
