Q: photoshop cc printing blurry

Please help!!

When ever I make something in Photoshop and print it, it comes out blurry (even text)!

I must be doing something wrong with the settings. I just printed an 8x10…the resolution was 72 pixels/inches.

I know practically nothing about pixels/resolution etc. So a simplified answer if possible please

TIA!!!!

72 pixels an inch is good for screen, terrible for print.
at 8x10 printing with ink your text needs to be 300 dpi (or ideally a LOT higher) depending on what you want to achieve.
you should probably talk to a print service or use a search engine for "understanding DPI"

Thank you for the response Jimmy Can you please suggest what I should set the resolution at? Or should I be setting it to pixel amounts instead of measurement amounts?
