Full-page bleed safety: 		                                        Type and other image area not intended to bleed or trim

The following advertising materials specifications facilitate quality control of magazine printing on high-
speed web presses. All requirements are based on Specifications for Web Offset Publications (SWOP).

All ads must be four-color process: cyan, magenta, yellow, and black. If a PMS color is desired, special
arrangements must be made and additional specifications provided before submitting ad materials. All
Pantone Matching System series color requests incur additional charges over the four-color rate. Specify
matched colors from the PMS series, including the 800 series metallic and fluorescent inks. Publisher re-
serves the right to match special color requests with process inks.

Anticipate a 24 percent dot gain, +/-4 percent, as measured in the 50 percent target 150-line screen and
prepare material accordingly. Total four-color dot density should not exceed 280 percent with no more than
one solid color. Maximum screen density for any color: 85 percent; a required value over 85 percent should
be made solid. Total two-color dot density in any area: 170 percent, with no more than one solid.

Digital Specifications
Diablo Publications is a Macintosh format Computer to Plate (CTP) environment and Adobe InDesign is the
primary page layout program used. PDF/X-1a and Macintosh formatted InDesign documents submitted on
disk (CD or DVD) with a high-quality hard copy SWOP-standard proof are the preferred advertising material
formats. All ads must be sized exactly and fractional ads must be bordered, or charges may apply. Clients
will be advised of appropriate production charges that apply if a disk does not meet specifications detailed
on the Digital Pre-press Form.

Acceptable Processed File Formats:
PDF: PDF/X-1a is the preferred PDF format. PDF version must be 1.3 (Acrobat 4.0 compatible) and images
CMYK and between 200–400 ppi at 100% of final image size used.

                                                                                                                (continued on page two)

Acceptable Native File Formats:
InDesign: Version CS3, CS4, CS5, or CS6 preferred.
Illustrator: Version CS3, CS4, or CS5 preferred.
Photoshop files are acceptable for images only. Ads created in Photoshop are not advised.
Charges may apply.
When submitting ads in Native File Format, include all fonts and high-resolution images with the file.
All images must be a minimum of 200-400 ppi at 100% of final images size used.
Native File Format ads created in PC Programs other than InDesign, QuarkXPress, or Illustrator may be
incompatible and production fees may be charged to convert the ad to a usable format. Also, use only
standard Adobe fonts in PC Native File Format ads—the use of uncommon fonts may render the Native File
Format PC document unusable.
Proof Requirements
We recommend a hardcopy high-quality digital proof that meets SWOP specifications (e.g. Kodak Approv-
al, Epson Proof or other SWOP-standard composite proof) accompany all materials submitted electronical-
ly or on disc. Color match attempts are not guaranteed when a substandard proof is provided–color printer
output is not acceptable for color match. For full-page ads, if a SWOP-standard proof is not supplied, one
can be made at a cost to the advertiser of $20.
File Transfer Protocol (FTP) Instructions
Visit www.wetransfer.com. Add your file (up to 2 GB), your email address, and the email address of our pro-
duction manager.

Shipping Instructions
