Raster images such as scanned photos consist of small cells called pixels. Image resolution depends on the pixel size and is measured in pixels per inch, ppi, and sometimes in dots per inch, dpi. The higher the resolution, the more pixels the image contains and, accordingly, the larger the size of the image. In Stimulsoft Reports it is possible to set any image resolution. But when the resolution is increased by a factor of 2, the image size will increase by a factor of 4. Also it is not good to set the image resolution more than the maximal resolution of an output device. For example, devices may have the following resolution:

matrix printer - 72dpi

monitor screen - 96dpi

laser printers - 300dpi or 600dpi

high-end printers - 1200dpi and higher.

 

By default the resolution is 100dpi.
