<< In a perfect world, publishers would view color plates as being
beneficial for the society/journal, since high-quality color offers a lot of
advantages over b&w. However, these days you're lucky if you get a decent
reproduction of b&w figures - to save space they'll often shrink stuff down
to single column width. >>
I suggest that the recent examples of Journal of the American Killifish
Association be viewed for what can be done with color images. The AKA also said for
years that it couldn't be done or was too expensive.
