The graphics on my web look fine, but when I print them they're small and fuzzy. Why?

Images displayed on a screen are usually optimized for web presentation. They are compressed and the resolution is reduced to match the detail level available on a screen. Images designed for print would be both very large physically and in file size. This would greatly increase the time required to display a page.

What are vector and raster graphics?

Vector graphics are displayed mathematically as a series of x and y co-ordinates. Raster images are a series of pixels (like single colour squares). If you enlarge a raster image, it becomes jagged and loses detail because the number of pixels remains the same - they just grow in size. Vector graphics are scalable because they are defined as moveable points - the graphic can be greatly increased without any loss of quality.
Photos are raster images so it is important to use a high quality image of large pixel size in printed material.
