Just to clarify this: eps / ps are vector formats - i.e. it says in the
file "draw a line from point x to point y". In contrast, bmp (and e.g.
jpg, png, tiff) are raster formats: in these formats save the PICTURE of
the line from point x to y.
Consequently, only raster formats have dpi ("dots" per inch).
Or in Adobe illustrator? It strikes me, that 72dpi is usually the screen
resolution.
