    I had some problems with "fuzziness" with my JPG images. Then I realized
    that I was printing at +300dpi, and the JPG had a 72dpi resolution. I
    changed my JPG to 300dpi, and much of the fuzziness went away. That
    said, TIFF or PNG might improve the clarity, although SVG might be even
    better (I think SVG is supported by XEP?).
