Printing 4 similar images to one document c#

Question

I have a hopefully simple question this time: I want to print items which are looped through and printed in 2x2 per page. I'm using a loop for that, and a Rectangle array. That can change though. What's the simplest way to print to the certain part of a graphics? The context is I'm doing it in a print event, using the supplied e.Graphics object - the current code looks like:

public void BeginPrintEvent(object sender, PrintPageEventArgs e)
{
    SizeF TestSize;
    string text = "";
    Image labelImage = new Bitmap((int)e.Graphics.DpiX, (int)e.Graphics.DpiY, e.Graphics);
    Graphics g = e.Graphics;
    Rectangle[] rect = new[] { new Rectangle(0,   0,   419, 581),
                               new Rectangle(419, 0,   419, 581),
                               new Rectangle(0,   581, 419, 581),
                               new Rectangle(419, 581, 419, 581) };

    try
    {
        for (int lblNum = 0; lblNum < 4); lblNum++)
        {
            g.DrawString( // lots of stuffs
            e.Graphics.DrawImage(labelImage, rect[lblNum]);
        }
    }
    catch (Exception exc)
    {
        // Report to user
    }
}

I can't seem to get the imaging right, the sizes tend to be very small so most of the image is lost.

You already answered on your question "too small", why your new image has so small dimention? — Sinatr, Mar 18 '13 at 15:16
@Sinatr Presumably I'm retrieving the size the right way. There's no explicit `Width` or `Height` members in the `e.Graphics` object. All I have is some unholy Clip uses. — Whoop5, Mar 19 '13 at 07:35

Worked it out as:

 Image labelImage = new Bitmap(419 * ((int)e.Graphics.DpiX / 100), 581 * ((int)e.Graphics.DpiX / 100), e.Graphics);

Cheers for noticing the post though Sinatr :)
