DEV2bitmap: jpeg with res=400 not enough for CORELDRAW poster A0

Dear all,
When saving a plot with the dev2bitmap command:
name <- c("test.jpeg")
dev2bitmap(name,type="jpeg",height=8,width=13,res=400)
Everything seems to be ok... After importing this picture in
CORELDRAW (for
a poster A0) format the resolution and colors are not optimal.
How can I save pictures (colors/resolution) optimally for import into
CorelDraw for an A0 poster?
Pdf?/tiff?/bmp?/
What about PostScript? It's perfectly resizable and CorelDraw (at least the outdated version 10) can deal with it.
But not PDF? Notice that this is not really bitmapped either, even though handled by dev2bitmap. Upping the res= is another option, but may be memory intensive. Notice that A0 is 4 times as big as A4 (~8x12 inches) so you'd need up to 4 times the resolution - but I guess that your plot is not taking up the whole area...
