How to print clear JPG?

Does anyone know how to print clear JPG pictures? I have a few documents taken by photo (JPG) that I need to print, but they all come out blurry. I've tried converting them to a pdf and have adjusted the size percentage, but they all finish the same - illegible.

You probably need a better printer
OR
you may need to OCR those pics. They are mostly text, right?

Make sure you printer output is set to best quality on the system print dialog box. Also, as someone else mentioned, your printer may not be adequate to the task.

What resolution is the jpeg? You'll need at least 100dpi for a decent print. So an 8.5x11 print would need to be 850x1100 resolution. 150 dpi is what I use of I want a good print and 300dpi for an excellent print. When I say excellent, I mean for my standards. a really excellent print would be 1200dpi but most printers can't print that high of a resolution.

quote:This could be the problem. Often times, people try to take the finite amount of pixels in a small image and try to spread them over a much larger area, and pixelation occurs. For example, if you use an image the size of a postage stamp and try to duplicate it on an 8.5 x 11 piece of paper. Also, the process of printing on paper requires waaaay more pixels than screen/web-based images that appear perfectly normal on you computer monitor. Printed images vs images on a computer monitor: two different worlds.
What resolution is the jpeg?
Rule of thumb: you can take a large image and make it smaller, but you can't take a small image and make it larger - without incurring at least some pixelation.

My guess is your DPI isn't high enough.
