The quality would have to be very low, or the printed image would have
to be farily small. You need a 10mb tiff file to print at photographic
quality at full A4 size. The images on my site are equal to a 1mb tiff
file and these are a little bit blocky when printed. If you look
carefully at the images taken from your site, there should be some level
of blockiness to the image.

BTW, how did you actually find out about the unauthorised use of your
photos?
