I hate when I have to struggle to read graph labels in PDF articles on even a 27" QHD screen.
There has to be a better way. Like HTML?
Or at least not arbitrarily scaling the graphic down to 5/8s of the page width. Use the full "8.5"" page-width; it's not like an extra page or two in article length is costing you anything.

See p.8 of https://doi.org/10.5860/lrts.63n2.119 for my current example. (It's paywalled--stupid ALA--but Google Scholar will find a perfect copy for you at academia.edu)
If I zoom in on-screen, I can barely make out the blurry label text.
Worse, even when printed at 600dpi--theoretically the whole reason for the weird layout--fig. 3 is unreadable.
