Mechanical Requirements

All advertising material should be camera-ready and sized to fit. For black-and-white ads, camera-ready is defined as a high-resolution output (1200 dpi) on RC (resin coated) paper, or when halftones are required, film negatives, right reading, emulsion side down.

Four-color ads must be accompanied by a progressive proof. Color keys and color lasers are not acceptable for proofing purposes.

Ads on disk. For your convenience, we accept ads in sizes except for full-page on disk. We accept files created in Adobe Illustratorª (Mac or PC), Macromedia Freehandª (Mac), Quark XPressª (Mac) and CorelDrawª (Mac or PC). Don't forget to send fonts and linking files! Ads on disk must be accompanied by a digital proof. Please keep in mind digital proofs are not made from the filmÑtherefore the printed product will not match the proof exactly.

Laser copies are not acceptable! Production charges will be added to the insertion cost for ads that do not meet these specifications, without notice or advisement of price unless so requested on your insertion contract. A minimum of $150 will be charged for any changes necessary.
