Guidelines
Acceptable file formats are PDF/X-1a, press-ready PDF and high-resolution Postscript files. PDFs generated from Acrobat Distiller should be made with settings based on the “PDFX1a” or “Press Quality” job options. Set up crop marks to show bleed and trim with and offset of .167’. Native application files are not accepted. Make sure that images are CMYK (not RGB) and at least 300 dpi. The total tonal ink density should be no greater than 280% in the darkest areas. We recommend solid black color should not be 100% black, the proper color build for very dark or “rich” black is 30m 60c 100K.
Acceptable File Format
We accept only digital files in the PDF/X-1a format. The PDF/X-1a must be made from a PostScript file with all fonts and highresolution images embedded. Ensure that all elements are a minumum of 300 dpi and 100% in size. The color space must be CMYK or Grayscale. Do not submit files in RGB.
Acceptable Proofs
To ensure the highest quality of print reproduction, we ask that all digital files be accompanied by a SWOP-certified proof that represents the final file at 100%. In the absence of a SWOP-certified proof, the color reproduction of the ad will be based on industry standard best practices to achieve color as accurate as possible from the supplied digital file.
File Transfer Site
Submissions via file transfer sites such as www.dropsend.com are also accepted. Please follow up with an email to Jinette Ramos to confirm receipt of the ad.
