. 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 web-

sites 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 uncom-

pressed. JPG files also work well for graphics that include

photographs. All three formats can be imported into the

NiceLabel application.
