I need a very high-resolution image for print work. The Sketchpad lets you export an image to any resolution, and in a few formats. Usually, you should use the TIFF format for publishing purposes. The BMP and uncompressed TIFF formats are the most wasteful - consuming almost a megabyte for a 640x480 image. 720 dpi' refers not to the number of pixels, but the number of ink dots used to make a picture.
Desktop publishing is a great opportunity to layer illustrations on top of each other.
Remember that for professional purposes, you must converty your illustration into an EPS file with a clipping path to achieve transparency in a composing medium like Quark XPress. If you are using Publisher or Word to do layout, simply use the transparency tool from the Picture menu. The resolution of the document you can export is limited by the memory you have available.
