Go over to http://www.classic-castle.com/ - lots of ready-made torso templates
are available both in the how-to and Castle MOC board. I can't speak for
Windows Paint - I use Photoshop. Most are set up for 300 to 500 dpi printing
which are fine for most ink-jet printers. Glossy photo paper gives the best
results - I use Epson Glossy Photo Paper since it is thinner and lighter than my
usual Canon Photo Paper Pro. Lesser papers will give you blurrier and less
vibrant printing (but you want to have a whole page full - use cheaper paper for
tests).
