Guidelines for Digital Ads
Requested File Types: PDF (prinergy specs or print optimized), TIF, or EPS. To insure print quality, please send files in a final resolution no less than 300 dpi/150 lpi, cmyk color mode: Digital files should be sent on CDs (ISO 9660 or Mac files and folders format preferred), or posted to our ftp site at www.putmanftp.com. The customer should provide a composite laser for prepress proofing to avoid any reflow or corruption mistakes.
Printing Specifications
Web offset. SWOP specifications apply. All images/scans must be in CMYK mode and scanned at a final resolution of 300 dpi/150 lpi. Pantone colors must be converted to CMYK mode. Proofs are required for all color advertising. If not furnished, reproduction quality is at advertiser's risk. Chromalins preferred; progressive proofs, press proofs, and transfer keys acceptable. The publisher will not guarantee color reproduction if the advertiser supplies a color laser proof or 3M color keys.
Ad Format
To take fullest advantage of the quality made possible by our digital (direct-toplate) workflow, Putman Media recommends that advertising materials be supplied in digital format accompanied by appropriate physical proofs. If proofs are not furnished, reproductive quality is at advertiser's risk.
