Printing advice needed - GoFuckYourself.com

I created an invitation for a friend in Photoshop - document is 150ppi - he says the printing place he's using only supports JPEGs, so I saved the invitation as a JPEG with zero compression. He printed the invitations and they're not that sharp. Can a JPEG be saved at anything other than 72ppi?

just convert to 300 dpi (imge --> image size)and and make sure the "resample image" box isn't checked.

However, my best printing advice would be as follows: run away from any printing shop that says they only accept jpeg files

ALWAYS use MINUMUM 300dpi when doing physical print media .... up to 600dpi for stuff like T-shirt transfers ..

not sharp means the image was blown up before printing.. . say @ 150ppi the images is 3 inches across so the image was stretched to 5 inches etc.. ... work at 4000 px across @ 300 dpi.. that should cover ya
