If you are using an image box for the image on the report, there is a size limit of 32k which could be causing this. Is "jpeg view 2.107" a Navision add-on?
It sounds like this add-on is converting the jpeg into a colour bitmap which would decrease the resolution substantially. My advice is to see if the add-on has settings where you can specify whether it converts to colour or black-and-white. You might also want to manually convert this jpeg into a black and white bitmap of no more than 32k, modify the report to use this bitmap and see if the image quality is better.

Even if these might not work for you - maybe the code can cut down that 20 hrs
