Please call and request our current FTP instructions. Color proofs are still required of files uploaded to the FTP. Discs and other materials will not be returned unless requested in writing.

Preflighting Files:
Please preflight electronic files before submitting to ensure all graphics and fonts are included and all color files are converted to 4-color process. Pantone colors will be converted to CMYK and may result in a slight color variance. Our linescreen is at 150, please make sure all graphics are placed at an acceptable resolution (300dpi) full size.

Density:

Bleeds:
Create at least 1/8" (.125") bleed beyond trim, on top, bottom and sides. Build spreads as printers spreads (2 separate pages in the Quark file) this will allow for the proper bleed across the gutter for binding.

Live Area:
All critical graphical information must be kept in a safe area 1/4" from trim. Keep critical information 3/8" out on both sides of the gutter to preserve information on crossovers.

Crossovers (SPREADS ONLY):

Color Proofs:
All ads should be accompanied by an acceptable color proof. A Digital Waterproof, Kodak Approval, Polaproof, Iris or Rainbow are acceptable and should conform to SWOP standards to ensure that the printed results match supplied proof. If ads are submitted without adequate color proofs, one will be provided by the publisher and the cost will be charged back to the customer.
