its hard for my setup to find the registration marks ... i had to set it up in flexi with a box around it that left a little room between the box and the design ,box with no fill but a stroke , then i knew the exact size of the box. so i stuck white vinyl down on the silver far enough in that...
if they started with a lower res file (like something download from the net) and just upsampled up to 300dpi it is likely it will never look good. genuine fractals and other programs cannot invent data that isn't there. this sounds like the case here... take a 2"x2" 72 dpi pic and blow up...

study some designs and critiques on this forum and you will learn alot... you definately have some skills and knowledge of the software (just to get the effects) just study and learn what makes a good and effective design. Rick (who commented "oh my!") is excellent .. you should search...
the cast has extension of 4 years... but on some calendered that i wanted to feel better about durability i have used the 215 it has 3 year extension factor. 210 only 2 years. all depends on the conditions (sun exposure...)
