Format Requirements
The guide is laid out in QuarkXpress on a Mac platform. We prefer to receive your ad as a pdf file, but if you are using a Mac you can send rip-ready files in InDesign, QuarkXpress, Photoshop, or Illustrator. No transparencies. Remember to include all linked files and fonts, and a hardcopy proof.
If you are using any platform other than Mac, PDF files are the only way to minimize problems. Pdf files must be high resolution, press-ready PDFs prepared by:
1. First printing to a postscript file
2. Then distilling the postcript file using Distiller that comes with Adobe Acrobat version. Don't enable any color management while doing this.
For further information on settings please go to www.mitchellpress.com/pdf_work.html. |
