Should I be setting the PageUnits

bitmap = new Bitmap(width * (int) e.Graphics.DpiX, height * (int) e.Graphics.DpiY);

bitmap.SetResolution(bitMapDpiX, bitMapDpiY);

bitmap = new Bitmap(width * (int) e.Graphics.DpiX * 2, height * (int) e.Graphics.DpiY * 2);

bitmap.SetResolution(bitMapDpiX * 2, bitMapDpiY * 2);

Doing so makes the resulting image significantly smaller.
