When I open that bizcard.svg in Gimp, select the business card dimensions and 300 PPI & export it as a jpeg or png I still get an image that's not 100% clear. Am I doing something wrong?
I made the logo again in Inkscape and exported it as a pdf and that looks way better to me. No matter how I zoom in or out it always looks perfect.

Is there any way to get that same quality in a jpg? I want to use vistaprint for business cards and for some reason they don't accept my pdf's and png's.
EDIT: ok wait, something confuses me here
that bizcard.svg I imported in Gimp and exported as a jpeg and complained it wasn't sharp, well, if convert that to a pdf it is sharp. The thing that probably confuses me is when I open the jpeg, it shows the actual size in pixels and NOT the actual print size like the pdf does.
So what's the easiest way to get a 'print preview' when you design something in in a raster file format?
And is it always like that? When you design something for print will it look bad on screen in full resolution? It's really hard for me to wrap my head around.
