Check out these links.
I am getting a lot of noise.
I want better resolution for print.
I can give a screen shot of the settings I am using.
Any help is much appreciated.

thanks

Re: reduce noise

You could either A) up your antialiasing or B) decrease you're noise threshold. It looks as though you're using Adaptive DMC for your AA engine, so having your max Subdivisions somewhere around 36 or higher will smooth things out quite a bit. If you want to decrease your noise threshold, I'd try and do some small tests to see what value does best (like a bucket or two). Your noise threshold is probably at .01 right now...the lowest you should really go is .001

Re: reduce noise

For me it looks like DMC is used as primary GI engine. If you would use IrradMap, than you would get a noisefree result, only you must set enough IM subdivs against splotches (but IM should be faster than DMC GI).
