Publishers use a minimum of 1200 DPI to print with. Submissions at 600 
dpi are usually acceptable because they are quicker to review and easier 
to convert.

If anyone would care to they can email me the largest size they have and 
I will resize it. There are filters and software that help with the 
quality but no miracles.

I think flounces get more acceptance than horns. SOLAR FIRE and 
BARABARA'S LACE  both show up well in photos. SOLAR FIRE doesn't show 
off the details as well but it is better known and I would prefer not to 
burden Mike Sutton with even more requests for BL. Bitones and bicolors 
show details better than "Speckeled" such as MO.
