Windows Bitmap (BMP) technical notes |
• | You can import Windows Bitmap files conforming to the Windows and OS/2 BMP specifications. |
• | Windows Bitmap files may be black-and-white, 16 colors, grayscale, paletted, or RGB color (24-bit), and print accordingly, depending on your printer. |
• | Run-length encoding (RLE) compression may be used on all bitmaps, except RGB color (24-bit), and black-and-white bitmaps. |
• | The resolution ranges from 72 to 300 dpi, or higher if you choose custom settings. |
• | The maximum image size is 64,535 × 64,535 pixels. |
• | Because raster images such as bitmaps are mapped pixel by pixel to the page, the resolution does not increase. Instead, your bitmap appears jagged, with an apparent loss of resolution. |
