Printing an image
Looking for some help with getting a quality print of a Club Logo.
I've tried different vector file converters and even tried using online Lithopane converters. Whenever I run the file through the PrusaSlicer I find it eliminates crucial details or over details and makes a mess of the print. Having a hard time reaching the happy mid point.
Would anyone be willing to help me turn this into an STL approx 60mm x 60mm that gets me better definition on the print?

the fish has a lot of small detail, which you may lose with a o.4mm nozzle
have you considered slicing for a 0.25mm nozzle, You may get better results, but it will take time!

Didn't actually think about reducing my nozzle size. Not exactly the option I'd prefer at this point.
Yes, agreed, the details are against me here I think. Do believe that if the image can be rendered correctly to reduce the overall detail but keep the sharp features. Been struggling to make this work.

Wot Joan said plus your part has too many colours, you'd need to run it thro filters to reduce tthem and I guess if you did 4 colours that would lose to much detail. You need to look at either a stylized image or some other technology.

Ok, so I've eliminated colors down to black and white.
At this point it is perfect for me. However the fine line details that are critical (Fins, Gills, etc) are to small the print on the .4 mm nozzle.
I heard that it's possible to set the slicer to print those fine lines regardless. Is this true? and what setting would that be?

Here it is filtered in Photoshop with the cutout filter.

I believe the command you need is Extrusion width. this is generally greater than the nozzle diameter, you could try slicing with extrusion width 0.4mm
below that printing can be problematic.
