dose the printer print other images with good quality?
can you tell us the image size you are working on in pixels or inches with dpi?

i'm not sure that makes sense. you can specify the dpi to any number. normally 300dpi is an accepted size, but i quite often create documents at 200 dpi. it depends on the printers ability.

can you post a screen shot of PS from your pc and a scanned image of the print?

Are you sure you are using fabric ink? Regular ink usually doesn't cut it.

Some pre-stretched canvasses has an acrylic coating meant for oil-based paints. Using an ink-receptive coating (Ink Aid) should take care of this problem.

Only the brush images are fuzzy as I understand.....
Best thing is create good brush and try print it out.....
Then you know what to do
