IT WAS A PREVIOUS COOLEST STORE ISSUE THAT COMPELLED ME TO MAKE MY NEW LOCATION SO MUCH BETTER, AND WE WERE HONORED TO BE CHOSEN AS ONE OF THE BIG COOL STORES THIS YEAR. WE’RE THRILLED.”

QUESTIONS ABOUT YOUR AD? CONTACT THE AD PRODUCTION MANAGERemail: [email protected] / phone: (212) 981-9625

ADVERTISING SPECS

FILE SUBMISSIONFiles that are 10MB or smaller should be emailed directly to [email protected]. This email address reaches several people in the production department. Larger files can be emailed to the same address using a file-sharing site like Dropbox, High-tail.com or WeTransfer.com.

If sending DVDs or flash drives, include a label with the adverti ser’s name, issue of insertion, contact name and phone numbers.

PREFERRED FILE FORMATOur preferred file format is Press Ready PDF Files (PDF/X-1a). Here are additional guidelines on submitting PDF files for best results.

IMAGES

Use high resolution images. 350 DPI is recommended.

TIFF or EPS format preferred. If using JPEG, use only at the maximum-quality setting.

RGB and LAB color are not allowed.

Do not save TIFF or EPS files with embedded color manage-ment profiles.

Avoid scaling images, if possible. If you must scale images, do not scale below 50% or above 110%.

Total Area Coverage should not exceed 300%.

FONTS

Always embed all fonts.

Do not allow font substitutions.

Do not use TrueType fonts.

Do not “menu-style” your fonts. These styles may not have matching printer fonts available and may not print correctly. For effects such as bold or italic, select a bold or italic font.

COLORS

Only use CMYK colors; convert spot colors to process.

LAYOUT

Create documents in Portrait mode without scaling or rotation. If you require scaling or rotation, do so in the original graphics program.

When bleed is required, provide 1/8-inch beyond the trim area.

All marks (trim, bleed) should be included in all colors and must be located 1/4-inch (4.25 mm) from trim and not invade the live or bleed areas.

TRANSPARENCY

All transparent objects must be flattened at a high resolution.

Avoid placing transparent objects on top of text or other critical vector objects.

OVERPRINT

Overprinting objects may not reproduce correctly when printed and will sometimes disappear completely. We recommend creat-ing objects exactly as you want them to appear without relying on an overprint setting.

OTHER ACCEPTED AD FILE FORMATSWe also accept Macintosh Adobe InDesign files, up to the latest version of Creative Cloud. Contact our ad production manager for other accepted ad file formats.

PROOFSFor four-color ads, provide a color proof with standard AAA/PMS process colors. Note any special instructions directly on the proofs. SmartWork Media cannot guarantee reproduction quality of ads supplied without a proof or those in non-preferred file formats. Ads submitted in non-preferred formats may be subject to additional production fees.
