.

Combination (line and tone) artwork should be scanned according to the following requirements, regardless of the software and hardware used in the scanning process.

  • The tonal area(s) of the image should be scanned in RGB* mode for color, or Greyscale for black and white at a minimum resolution of 500dpi
  • Images should be tightly cropped
  • If applicable, please relabel your scanned artwork with a font supported by Elsevier and ensure it is an appropriate font size
  • Save your image in TIFF format with LZW compression applied
