So I'm not sure of the right lingo, I'm trying to print out a postcard-size image. It's a 5x3 inch card. Tried changing the image size, pixels per inch and bicubic smoother. It comes out pixelated every single time. I've tried making sure the pixels are the same dimensions as the inches I need. I've also tried Save As instead of Export. Not sure what else to do. Please help!
5 x 3 inches at 300 ppi requires 1500 x 900 pixels.
Your starter image which you said has 480 x 336 pixels could be resampled to 1500 x 1050 pixels but that involves Photoshop "inventing" 89% of the pixels in the larger image. That is why it will look softer.
When I look at your design it is all text and shapes. That is better created in Illustrator where those shapes are stored as vectors not pixels and will print at any size without loss of sharpness.
