The Requirements

1. 600 dpi for line drawings (black and white).
2. 300 dpi for halftones (gray scale). Do not convert from color images as they reproduce very poorly.
3. 300 dpi for color images. Must be in CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black) for color separation. RGB (Red, Green and Blue) is unacceptable for color separation work.
4. Ensure all labels/annotations are sharp and clear for reproduction. Easy-to-read typeface/font like Arial, Helvetica or Times Roman are recommended for the labels.
5. To provide softcopy of the illustrations in either eps, ps, tif, jpg, gif or bmp format, preferable on a PC platform. All illustrations should be embedded in the text. At the same time provide the illustration, example, John_fig1.eps, Hogn_fig2.eps, or John_fig1.tif, John_fig2.tif.
6. If soft copies are not available, authors are requested to submit good original glossy prints for clear reproduction. Figure number must be clearly labeled on the back and preferably indicate which side of the figure is the top by using an arrow pointing upwards.
