However, when produced on a high-resolution laser imagesetter, hairlines become nearly invisible and will be lost entirely in the final printing process. Use Type 1 outline fonts instead of bitmap fonts whenever possible. If submitting bitmap graphics, submit them at a resolution of at least 600 dpi. Text set in a bitmap font generated for a 600 dpi laser printer might look crisp when printed from a 600 dpi laser printer, but when the same text is imaged on a 1200 dpi imagesetter, it might have jagged edges. Avoid fonts with city names such as Chicago, Monaco, Geneva, etc.
Myriad problems can occur when graphics are scaled, even if they are scaled properly.
However, when scaling is necessary, remember that line weights and screens will also scale. When using only an area of a larger graphic, clip or crop within the graphics application to delete all but the desired portion. Do not clip or crop by pasting areas of white over portions of the graphic. Doing this will make the bounding box larger than what it should be, resulting in problems when including the graphic in TeX. Do not create a graphic in color if it is not to appear in color in the published product. For books and journals, except electronic-only journals, color graphics should be saved in CMYK format.
