Thank you, Herschel. I appreciate your help. I wasn't too far off with my
interpretation, but it makes me feel better to "hear" it from you.

Basically you need an image at between 220 and 266DPI (Plus the dreaded Q
factor) so make that 300 DPI at the size of the cover...
So for a letter size magazine, 8.5 x 11 in, you need an image around 2600
by 3300 (8 mega-pixels)
The paper weight and surface data make no difference to you.
