Hello, n8s! I have been a long-time DeviantArt lurker but your BB-8 model has finally made me join the club!
You have done a great job in turning the sphere-shape into a paper model. I too have also noticed that the texture is blurred and that some lines are distorted. I therefore have begun tracing the template in CorelDRAW to turn it into a vector graphic. This will hopefully enhance the overall appearance. Main tracing is complete, I am now tweaking the fine details (smoothing the outlines and adding panel lines). I am also tempted at making the head movable. I'll send the finished pattern to you asap for approval. The progress of my enhancements can be seen on the Zealot modeling forum.
BTW, I am an avid paper model designer myself and have created several BSG and Buck Rogers models. Unfortunately I am unable to post links to them because the system thinks they are spam. 
Have fun and enjoy!

Hey thanks. I'm also working on the blurry problem and should have an entirely new bb8 model up soon. I encourage you to keep working on your solution to it. Sounds like it will work well to clean up the texture. Thanks for keeping me posted.

That sounds great, thank you!
I have finished the clean-up and will begin a test-build tomorrow.
I suspect the texture map is too small which leads to the blurry result. I would use several texture maps of max size (1024 x 1024 pix). That would decrease the pixelation tremendously. And use *.png format (if possible) to prevent jpeg artifacts (you may use *.bmp but this leads to a very big file).

This is the current state of the test-build:

A few corrections have to be made; I think the next revision will be the final one.

I have finished the test-build of the enhanced version. I vectorized the template, enhanced the texture and revised the head. A few small tweaks have to be made here and there before I can send you the template. I hope you like it!

Love that model. Thx for sharing.
But n8s is right, somehow the textures in the pdo files for the body are blurred. That's already seen in your picture (n8s.deviantart.com/art/Bb-8-Pa… ).
It is ok in the pdf, but I would like to rearange a few flaps.

Aww, one should not write late in the night. Obviously it's "mound9 is right...". Sorry about that.

In pepakura, go to settings>print and paper settings>Vector print(print lines clearly).
That should fix it
