I used to use Rotring's in Burned Oak, btw. They allow lovely details, but used to clog all the time. What resolution are these scans? 72 dpi WILL seem blur fine linework. Are these reduced from the original size, or enlarged? Enlarging might result in blur as well.
I believe I just posted this one in original resolution, 300 dpi (don't laugh please, I know it's too big). I also tried the smaller resolution before, and it all just looks blur here. The original format is like A4 approximately. I also noticed that vertical page layouts don't get blur, while horizontal ones do. It's probably just the mater of dA, but it pisses me off regularly.
300 dpi is the resolution you want to use for detailed artwork, when scanning. But for displaying on the net, you want 72 dpi. When you reduce the dpi from 300 to 72dpi, the image size changes automatically as well, but you can change it back to a decent size to better preserve the details. (I downloaded Ulysses pg12 just to check its dimensions, and its about 900 pixels wide) I reckon if you restore the width to, say, 1200 pixels, you'll lose a lot of that blur.
For example, I scan my pages into Photoshop at 300 dpi. They're usually something crazy like 2500 pixels x 4800 pixels. I add my word balloons and sound effects, flatten the image, then reduce the resolution to 72 dpi, which reduces the image to something lousy like 400 x 600 pixels (which is useless for detail preservation) so I increase that back to about 800 x 1080, THEN save the image. For those really high detailed pages at the end of Burned Oak, I was saving them at 1200, even 1400 pixels high. It means they display larger on Deviantart, and gives better representation of the detail. Hope that makes sense
