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.

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.
