Our
preferred art files are flattened tifs (Photoshop) and flattened
eps with embedded images and all fonts converted to paths
(Illustrator). For all other file submissions please contact
your advert sales representative.
Both
Macintosh and PC formats will be accepted using these specifications:
Digital Requirements: Files must be created using QuarkExpress (v. 6.5 or
earlier), Adobe CS3 InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop (Mac
and PC). Pollstar prefers that ARTWORK is submitted in these
native formats. Please pay special attention to page or advert size and bleeds
on full-page adverts. Our ability to edit PDF files can be
limited.
PDF
Submissions: In
general, PDFs should meet PDF/X-1a standards. We recommend
using Adobe Acrobat 6 to produce PDF files (Click
to download Distiller Settings and copy to your Distillr\Settings
folder). Compatibility must be Acrobat 4 (pdf 1.3). At
this time we do not recommend using Adobe Acrobat 7 due to
compatibility issues. For quality-control purposes, advertisers
who submit PDF files may be required to supply native files.
• All
Graphics must be at least 300dpi at the same size used in
the layout and saved as an EPS or TIF file.
• All color images must
be CMYK (swop 20% preferred).
• We cannot accept RGB and
indexed colors. All screen and printer fonts used must be
submitted.
All
spot colors should be converted to CMYK prior to distilling
or PDF creation (unless advert is to print with a spot color).
If advert is to print with spot colors do not convert to CMYK.
Files
with transparency must be flattened in the native application
prior to distilling or PDF creation.
