File requirements
Make sure your ad prints accurately by submitting high-quality, print-ready files using these guidelines.
- PDFs must be CMYK using SWOP standards. Convert all images to process color (RGB and spot colors are not accepted).
- Images should be 300 dpi at size used in ad.
- Use Type 1 or OpenType fonts only (no TrueType or font substitutions).
- Do not embed ICC Profiles in images.
- Preflight your file in Adobe Acrobat before uploading (use PDF/X-1A compliance) to check for errors.
- If your file does not pass our preflight program, we will return it to you with the preflight report to assist you in correcting the file.
