    Images created in Photoshop are just a display of pixels (including any text you create). When you print a Photoshop image, you see the pixels created by Photoshop that are intended to make the text look smooth, but it's mainly a lot of smart guessing by Photoshop.

    By contrast, when you use a program like Adobe Illustrator (or Microsoft Word, for that matter), the text isn't just pixels. The text in the image is backed by a mathematical description of how -exactly- to render that text -- whether to the screen or to the printer.
