I have noticed that, I personally don't care for that sort of thing as I prefer the human touch to computers. ;)

That's what I said. I'm afraid you misunderstood my post.
I was stating that I didn't care for that sort of thing (pixel problems and using computers). That's the reason why I never like to use computers when creating or sharing my own material unless absolutely necessary.

Quote from user: KneonGemstone used to send me 600 dpi pages, which was actually twice the standard resolution for most American comics (which are usually 300 to 400 dpi, depending on the publisher.) You wouldn't see any "jaggies" on those pages unless you zoomed in pretty close with Photoshop. Could just be a low-res source file, yeah. Maybe they're printing from compressed PDFs?
That would be my guess, as that explanation seems to make the most sense. Going by what you said, Gemstone has the right idea. I've used Photoshop in the past for scanning inked pages and around 600 was usually what I preferred just to be safe.

So yeah, maybe the above is using compressed PDFs, but I honestly can't figure out why? I mean, wouldn't one think that they would want the best resolution possible?

Oh. The same in the "The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck" Vol 1: you can see pixels in the fullpage artworks inside the front- and back cover. Luckily not in the stories.

That's the way to do it. I do the same with scanned graphics for books.

Quote from user: quackpackWell, since the comics themselves are kinda cheap, this doesn't surpise me at all...
At $2.99 per comic I expect better quality stories. I have Disney comics from dozens of countries in my collection and I have never seen such badly pixelated artwork before.

Comics like the Incredibles and Cars with new stories look nice and sharp, but the pixels show up in a lot of the Italian stories.

I just checked the D-coded "Gold Hunt" art in Uncle Scrooge 387 and that looks pretty bad too. Are both Italy and Denmark providing BOOM! with low-res stories? Or did BOOM! get the Gold Hunt story from Italy because it had already been changed to a 3-tier format?

Either BOOM! is doing something wrong or they need to demand 300-600 DPI artwork from Italy. Otherwise they should start using stories from another source, like directly from Egmont.

Pixels were visible again in the comic book published by Gemstone, the Walt Disney Treasures - 80 yeas of Innowations, but there were only one, Brazilian comics.
