| Instructions for Submitting Digital Art
The Bulletin will accept figures submitted in electronic form; however, digital art must conform to the following guidelines.
| Format: |
Acceptable graphic formats are TIFF and EPS. Color submissions must be in EPS format, saved in CMKY mode. |
| Software: |
Preferred software is Adobe Illustrator or Adobe Photoshop for the Mac and Adobe Photoshop for Windows. |
| Resolution: |
The minimum requirements for resolution are 1200 DPI for line art, 300 for halftones, and 600 for half-tones with labels or text. |
| Size: |
All digital artwork must be submitted at its actual printed size so that no scaling is necessary. |
| Multipanel figures: |
Figures consisting of individual parts (e.g., panels A, B, C) must be assembled into final format and submitted as one file. |
| Hard copy: |
Files must be accompanied by hard copy for use in case the electronic version is unusable. |
| Checklist: |
Authors are encouraged to submit a copy of the checklist available from the editorial office or on the Cadmus website described below. |
More detailed information is available on the Web at the Digital Art Technical Support Site maintained by Cadmus Professional Communications. This web site includes specific instructions for artwork created with various software programs. It also provides guidelines for scanning art.
