I have created a file to print on 13x19 paper.  When I zoom to 100% I can see the words perfectly in Photoshop.  When i print to my printer I am not able to see the words clearly.  I am printing to a Epson 7710 workstation.  Has anyone had issues like this before?  The pictures print clear it is just the words.

Please tell us the pixel dimensions.

You can find them by going to Image > Image size.

    What are the pixel dimensions of the image?

    And what is the size of the image area in the print?

    Post the image file. It sound like its your image's quality is poor. Post processing a poor image can do just so much.  There is no magic in Photoshop.

    How may pixels do you have for you image and what is the print resolution and how was the text in the image created,  Photoshop vector text layer should print very clear and sharp if the text layer font size is large and the document has a good high ppi print resolution.  If you have  a small image with few pixels and print it 13" x 19" using a low print resolution the text will be soft.   You need Pixels for good sharp well defined shape details.

    Then the text has the quality that was captured by you camera and how will your processed the pixels your camera produced for the captured image. Its part of the image pixels layers should have the same quality as the rest of the image in that image area.
