Use the anti-alias settings (found in your character or text menu) to get your text to be crisp. They have settings from sharp, crisp, strong, and smooth. It just depends on your application output. It also depends on the resolution that you are using for the psd file as well. The higher the resolution the better for text output. Your fonts that you are using will also have something to do with the output of the printed text. Some fonts print better than others.

Hope this helps!

I'm having the same problem with PS 6. I'm trying to make a black GIF with white Text to use as a heading on a web page. I'd think that would be relatively easy -- Save As gif or Save for Web, but I cannot get a clear image.
