A color proof, preferably a Matchprint® or other high-quality proofing material, must accompany your disk. If sending electronically, please submit a PDF fle for our reference. Without a proof, we will be unable to determine whether our output matches what you sent.

All colors are printed in four-color process. Please submit your ad in CMYK format with no RGB or PMS colors in the file. Also, make sure that any embedded images have been converted to CMYK.

The preferred format for file submission is high-resolution PDF or EPS format. If necessary, we will accept files from the following software:
