      Production Guidelines

      • Application Specs:
        • Adobe Indesign: include Indesign document along with all fonts and images.
        • Adobe Photoshop: hi-res, flattened tifs, PDFs, or jpegs
        • Adobe Illustrator: convert all fonts to outlines and embed all images
        • We do not accept Microsoft Publisher files. 
      • Margins & live area*
        • All type and logos must be within the Live Area. Please don’t put critical information outside the live area. Clearly mark all ad materials with proper cropping instructions to avoid misinterpretation.
      • Image
        • All images should be high-resolution (300 dpi) and included with all design documents. We cannot accept web images that have been manipulated to a high resolution.
      • Color
        • All color, including photos, must be process separation (4-color) CMYK. If RGB is submitted we will convert and may lose desired color representation.  
      • File formats
        • Acceptable formats are TIF, EPS, or PDF. When sending a PDF, please make sure any color bars or crop, bleed, or registration marks or color bars are not within the live or bleed area of the ad. Preferred format for camera-ready is PDF, 300 dpi, with embedded fonts. 
      • Fonts
        • All fonts must be included with InDesign or Illustrator files. Include both screen and printer fonts. We can’t guarantee legibility of reverse type that is smaller than 6 points. 
      • Submission
        • You can upload these through your client portal or submit them by email to your Account Coordinator.
      • Proofs
