When print resources with pictures, LON-CAPA will automatically
convert graphics in EPS files. (EPS is a graphics format designed for
printing.)

The automatic conversion of a web graphic to an EPS file will
sometimes look blocky, because paper has a much higher resolution then
the web. If you would like to provide LON-CAPA with an EPS file to use
while printing for a given graphic file, upload your EPS file into
your authoring space with the same name as the .gif, .jpg, or other
web graphic, except ending with the extension ``.eps''. When you
publish the file, LON-CAPA will automatically use it in place of the
web image file when printing.

For instance, if you have a graphics file \texttt{my.image.gif}, you
can upload an EPS file named \texttt{my.image.eps}.
