Images and graphics with pixels can sometimes have very rough edges between color changes, even when they are at 300 ppi or above. Anti-aliasing is a method of smoothing out these jagged edges. Anti-aliasing software pulls from the surrounding pixels to create blurred, smooth edges. Only the pixels on the edge of the color change are altered, so anti-aliasing should not cause any loss of detail.
We recommend turning on any anti-aliasing options you may have in your photo editing or graphic design software.
Anti-aliasing is important on image heavy designs like those for catalogs, sell sheets, brochures, and posters.
