How scientific diagram prints on KDP
- Text is never generated inside the image: captions are typeset by the layout, so they stay sharp and correctly spelled in print.
Every illustration is prepared at 300 DPI or more, as KDP asks. Which interior suits it: premium vs standard color, the printing cost calculator and how to choose the trim size and paper.
