Low-Res/High-Res graphics
Files for print generally need to be scanned/drawn at 300dpi. What looks great on screen at 72dpi would look pretty bad when printed. Boosting the resolution from 72 to 300dpi in a paint program (Photoshop - Paint Shop Pro etc.) doesn't normally work as this just interpolates the image, i.e. adds similar coloured pixels to the image, which in turn can 'up' the image size but makes for a more 'blurry/fuzzy' effect.
