Crop Buffered image without losing dpi in java

Question

I am cropping the image by using the java buffered image. The problem is the cropped image is losing quality in terms of DPI. Say, for example, If the parent image has DPI of 200, the cropped image DPI is reduced to 96. Because of this, I am losing OCR accuracy.

Following is the code snippet I am using get the cropped Buffered Image.

BufferedImage cropImage( BufferedImage image, final int[] topLeft, int width, int height )
{
    int x = Math.max( topLeft[CoOrdinate.X.getValue()], image.getMinX() );
    int y = Math.max( topLeft[CoOrdinate.Y.getValue()], image.getMinY() );

    int imageWidth = image.getWidth();
    int imageHeight = image.getHeight();

    width = ( x + width ) > imageWidth ? imageWidth - x : width;
    height = ( y + height ) > imageHeight ? imageHeight - y : height;

    return image.getSubimage( x, y, width, height );
}

Then I save it using ImageIO

 File saveImage( String filePath, BufferedImage image )
{
    String formatName = FilenameUtils.getExtension( filePath );
    File croppedFile = new File( filePath );
    try {
        ImageIO.write( image, formatName,croppedFile );
        return croppedFile;
    } catch ( IOException e ) {
        LOG.error( "IO Exception occured while saving a buffered image" );
        throw new FileHandlingException( "IO Exception occured while saving a buffered image", e );
    }
}

How can I crop the image without losing DPI quality? I saw many solutions for Image Resizing and I understand resizing will lose quality. But cropping, preserving the DPI should be straightforward right?

EDIT:

ImageMagick's crop does exactly what I need. but I will have to use command line from java. Not an option for me right now.
