Author artwork arrives as a screenshot pasted into Word, a chart exported at 72 dpi, or a photograph of a whiteboard. None of it prints. All of it has to.
We redraw rather than upscale. Every figure is rebuilt as an editable vector to your figure style — line weights, fonts, labelling conventions, colour rules — so it prints sharp, reflows in the eBook, and can be corrected later without starting again.

Figures redrawn as vectors
Charts, graphs, schematics, flow diagrams and technical drawings rebuilt in Illustrator to your figure specification, supplied as editable AI or EPS.
