Minimum resolution in imported images

Hello

First of all: I am using FOP-0.20.4 under jdk1.4.1. 

I'm just a poor programmer nowing little about needed resolution. Using images produced for web (with 72 dpi) gives me a horrible result when I use them with FOP. What is the minimum resolution to use when producing pdfs to get a good-looking result? 300 or even more?

Best regards,

/Marcus

I use a 72 dpi image, but shrink it from 3.069x1.639 down like this:

<fo:external-graphic src="url('images/logo.jpg')" width="1.87cm"
height=".99cm" content-width="1.87cm" content-height=".99cm" border="0"/>

It looks great!
