I am using Xara x1 to create a business card.

WHen I exported it to TIFF, 24 bit, no compression and sent it to the printer, my cards didn't have crisp fonts and the white background just didn't look clear.

Could this have something to do with anti-aliasing?

THe printer's very own sample cards and their very own cards just looked sharp, clear and crisp.

Heck, the ink jet printer that I used to print out practice card even looked sharper than the ones I got.
