Computer to plate technology is currently used to produce the magazine. Negatives
supplied will require scanning into a digital format for placement into the
magazine and will incur additional charges. It is preferred that ads be created
in QuarkXpress and supplied on removable digital media with file information,
fonts, all supporting elements and composite proof required. We recommend
using the collect for output function standard on most programs. Please see
your sales consultant for the most up-to-date information.
Separated hard copy is required for all four-color ads
along with a composite color proof. There are no additional charges
for placing electronic ads, but color ads MUST have
a current color proof, such as a Rainbow or Iris digital proof. If
furnishing color copies or low-end digital proofs, color cannot be
guaranteed. Materials furnished other than specified above are subject
to production charges.
Color advertisers
If you are trying to match a specific color please provide a sample. Bear in
mind that PantoneÆ colors do not always convert well to process. Color ads MUST have
a current color proof, such as a Rainbow or Iris digital proof. If furnishing
color copies or low-end digital proofs color cannot be guaranteed.

proper closing date. Proofs sent to Clients/Agencies must be returned to
publisher within 24 hours of receipt, with all corrections clearly noted
on proof and with client signature.
