Your figure vs. Cell
ExampleLIKELY DESK REJECT
ResolutionFAIL
Effective 150 DPI at 85mm — below the ≥300 DPI this journal requires.
PaperFig’s enhancer re-renders a clean version — it fixes blur/mess, not resolution. The output has a resolution ceiling and may not reach 600 DPI at full width. Always proofread every label before submission.
Enhance the schematic in PaperFig →Label legibilityFAIL
Several labels fall below the 6pt minimum at final print size.
Fix labels in PaperFig →Color modeWARN
Journal requires CMYK; your file is RGB.
PaperFig can’t export CMYK yet — join the waitlist and we’ll email you when it ships. For now, convert in Photoshop / GIMP with a CMYK profile.
