1. Acceptable Formats
QuarkXPress (Macintosh or PC) format preferred. TIFF, or EPS also acceptable.
We do not accept Word documents, PageMaker files or Microsoft Publisher files.
2. Included Graphics
- You must supply all graphics associated with the ad, in TIFF or EPS vector art format only.
- Included photographic images (TIFFs) should have resolution of 300 dpi (dots per inch). Lower resolution images, such as 72- dpi jpgs from some digital cameras, are too coarse and will not print clearly.
- Included color TIFFs should be saved in CMYK mode (necessary for 4-color printing)
- EPS Files: If EPS files contain type, please convert all type to outlines before saving, to avoid missing font issues at print time.

All fonts used in ad must be included. Type 1 fonts for Macintosh are preferred, but we can convert PC Truetype fonts.

Please include either a “hard copy” printout of your ad, or a soft copy proof in PDF format, so that we may verify that the final result matches your desired look.
