Submission of Ads
We prefer and strongly recommend the submission of ads via High-Resolution Digital Media as follows: Required format is PDF: Adobe Acrobat 6.0 + up. Electronic Transfer: Internet, FTP. Please contact your Production Associate for FTP information. Ads must be complete and sized at 100% (confirm final trim size of journal). Ad size needs to include necessary bleeds (minimum bleed allowance = 1/8" each side). All fonts and graphics must be embedded; Open Type fonts are recommended. Ads must be saved as high resolution for print publication (minimum of 300 dpi for half tone times, 600 dpi for images containing pictures and text, 1200 dpi for line art). Four-color solids should not exceed SWOP density of 300%. Convert all RGB to CMYK.
Insert Requirements
- Acceptance: King- and journal-size accepted. Sample of insert must be submitted to Sales Representative for approval.
- Sizes: Tabloid-size inserts: Allow 1⁄8" head trim. Any excess will trim from face and foot. Smaller inserts, such as journal- or island-size, should be delivered with clean trim. The exception to this is a 1⁄8" head trim for inserts (4, 8 or 16 pages) that might be bound in the center spread, or for inserts provided with a binding flap; these should also include a 1⁄8" head trim. For all inserts, to allow for tipping, no live text should appear within 5⁄8" of the gutter.
Disposition of Materials
Material, other than inserts, will be held one year from date of last insertion and then destroyed unless specifically instructed otherwise. Excess inserts will not be held after binding unless requested in writing.
