Images are fuzzy...

So, I actually have RS up and running and I've solved all the other issues with permissions and such. But a small problem is occuring that I'd like to get help with.
I have images in some of my reports. I've embeded some of them directly into the report and used a URL for others. The problem is that the images display and print fuzzy. The actual image files are hi-res and sharp. I've set the images to autosize so them match the real image in size, but everything is still fuzzy.
Is there a prefered way to display images so they're sharp? Is there a prefered image format, jpeg, bmp, etc?
Thanks!What renderer do you use?

You can specify the DPI of images using some the PDF rendering device
information settings. I think we default to 300 DPI which should be pretty
good.

Are jpegs the way to format the images or is there a better format? Also, does embedding them vs. linking do anything for me?
Thanks!

shouldn't matter.
