2. Resolution. Resolution is measured in dots per inch or dpi. 300
dpi is sufficient to get the best possible quality from most
images. A 72 DPI image will look fine on screen but WILL NOT
print well. Graphics and logos found on websites are typically 72
DPI. The image below was printed from a 72 DPI image. Notice
the jagged edges. Remember, print quality settings found in the
label printer driver will have no effect on improving a low dpi
source image.
On the other hand, resolutions higher than 300 DPI will not
produce better quality but may require more RAM to print and
hard drive space to store. They could even slow down the print
process.
3. Image File Format. Most graphics are created in a graphic
application. Since this graphic application is not usually on the
same computer as the label printer doing the printing, it is
necessary to export the graphic into a universal format that can
be read by other programs. We recommend TIF and BMP files
for graphics. These formats are uncompressed. JPG files also
work well for graphics that include photographs. All three
formats can be imported into the BarTender application.
