Best images on reports

There are several considerations involved; you'll have to choose which is best for your situation:
JPG uses compression, so quality suffers slightly (but may not be noticeable); I use it for photographs due to its small size.
GIF also uses compression; I use it for clipart and other 256-color images.
BMP is the fatest of the three, but might, in some situations, give you better quality. Not worth it for me, though, because the size is much larger than the other two.

When simulating letter-head type reports. I use JPG because the logos are generally small, and the loss due to comperession isn't noticialable. GIF are compressed too, perhaps not as much, I'm no guro of graphics. I agree BMP is the best quality, but for large images... it can bomb the printer.
