preparing the digital file:
•We accept production-ready PDF files.

PDF preset.

•Set the resolution of continuous tone photographs to 300 dpi. Bitmap graphics or logos should be at 600 dpi.
•Convert all colors to CMYK values.

•Black text should be 100% K (black). Do not use process black, it will reproduce in 4 colours and may become
blurry, especially in small text sizes.

For ads with a bleed, the ad file dimensions
need to go out to the edge of the gray so the
printer has extra that can get trimmed off.
This represents the trim-line, where the final
edge of the magazine will be after the printer
trims off the bleed.
This dashed line is 0.25 in. inside the trim-line and
it shows the boundaries of the live area. No text or
logos can be located outside the live area or it may
get trimmed off.
