| Materials: AJR will only accept digital ads. |
| |
| The following are guidelines for submitting digital ads to AJR: |
| |
| Software |
| |
| We prefer QuarkXpress for Macintosh. Please note the following supported software programs: |
|
- Photoshop (saved as an EPS, TIFF or PDF)
|
|
| *Any other applications are unacceptable. |
| |
| Fonts |
| |
- Supply all printer and screen fonts, including fonts embedded in art files.
|
- PC files may be submitted, however, since AJR is a Macintosh platform based magazine, Macintosh fonts may have to be substituted.
|
- Pseudo type commands should not be used (i.e., if italics are desired, then the italic version of the font should be used, not the italic style).
|
| |
| Graphics |
| |
- For all acceptable formats other than PDF, any embedded graphics must also be submitted as separate files.
|
- Scanned images must be saved as TIFF or EPS.
|
- Line art should be scanned at 900 dpi and saved as TIFF. Be sure not to scan line art as halftone. (In Photoshop, use the 'Bitmap' mode.)
|
- Black and white photos should be scanned at 266 dpi as grayscale. Ideally the shadow dot should not exceed 91; any dot under 4% will drop to white.
|
- 4C images should be scanned at 300 dpi and converted to CMYK (not left as RGB), with an ink limit of 280%. The high-res image should be imported directly into the document.
|
| |
| What to send on your disk |
| |
- The file of the ad (e.g., QuarkXpress file).
|
- Any support files that are incorporated into your ad (e.g., logo scans, images).
|
- The screen and printer fonts used in your ad. Fonts still need to be included even if the ad is saved as an EPS file. Look closely for any EPS files embedded within your ad (e.g., logo) that may use fonts, and include those as well. When using Multiple Master fonts, the entire family of fonts must be included regardless of whether or not all the versions are utilized in the ad. Variations caused by font substitutions due to fonts not being sent or converted as appropriate are the responsibility of the advertiser.
|
| |
| What to send with your disk |
| |
- The most recent hard-copy printout of the ad, specifying which software program was used in creation of your ad (e.g., QuarkXpress/Mac).
|
- A B/W composite and color-separated laser proof should also be provided with color ads. If your ad contains four-color scanned images or builds of three or more colors, provide a laminated or high-end digital color proof (Iris or Approval). We are not responsible for shifts in color due to differences between the file and the proof. If an acceptable color proof is not supplied, a fee may be applied to make one from your file.
|
| |
| Compatible media |
| |
|
- Zip Disk: 100MB or 250 MB
|
| |
| Electronic Transmission |
| |
- To e-mail a digital file, please send to Sese-Paul Design at maria@sese-paul.com. E-mail should not be used for files larger than 10 MBs.
|
- A laser of the ad being sent must be faxed to AJR noting the file name and marking the color. The laser should be sent to the attention of Maria Paul at (301) 469-7760. A color proof must be provided for a color ad and sent to AJR at 1117 Journalism Building, University of Maryland, College Park, MD 20742.
|
| |
| Miscellaneous |
| |
- The digital ad must match our magazine trim size at 8 3/8" x 10 7/8", and 3/16" margin tolerance (i.e., copy that you do not want to bleed or trim off should be positioned 3/16" away from the trim.
|
- Total area density should not exceed SWOP density of 280%.
|
- Do not submit color files for black and white ads.
|
- Tints and color type in a four-color advertisement must be produced in a CMYK equivalent.
|
- If you have made an EPS file for your ad, please supply it as well as your original application files in case the EPS file does not image correctly or if a modification is necessary.
|
- Zip and CD-ROM disks will be returned after the issue is published.
|
- Please be sure your address is marked clearly on the disk for efficient return.
