MECHANICAL REQUIREMENTS• Where® is produced in accordance with accepted standards for web offset

printing (SWOP), using four-color process inks (CMYK). Please refer to these standards for more information. You may obtain these at http://www.idealliance.org/specifications/swop/.

• No film will be accepted.

• Final digital ads should be supplied as PDF/x1-a or Press format PDFs, saved as version 1.3 (Acrobat 4.x) with high-resolution transparency flattening. Include all fonts subsetted at 100%. These files must be created using one or more of the following software programs only: Adobe InDesign, PhotoShop or Illustrator, and QuarkXpress. PDFs may be generated directly from the application or distilled from PostScript files using Acrobat Distiller. Please do not use Microsoft Publisher or Office applications as these cannot create acceptable PDFs.

Build your ad so that it conforms to these specifications AT FINAL SIZE:

• Image (photo) files should be 300 pixels per inch in CMYK, in Tiff or EPS formats. One-bit images (such as black and white logos) should be minimum 600 pixels per inch.

• Check that all colors used are 4/C process colors (CMYK). No Pantone, RGB, or Lab Color.

• Check that the maximum total ink coverage (TAC) does not exceed 300%.

• Minimize the number of steps used to create a gradation or blend.

• Provide 1/4" bleeds (image beyond trim) in bleed ads.

• Keep all live matter 1/4” from the trim on all four sides.

• All ads must conform to the spec sheet dimensions. If they do not, the ad will be modified to fit the appropriate space at the advertiser’s expense.

• Files must be in .zip format if compression software is used.

• Ad Proofs: We follow industry standards on press. If running a color ad, you may supply a color proof, which we will check for content. Please note that consumer inkjets cannot be relied upon to predict press color as the inks used are not true press colors (i.e. they cannot always be achieved in process printing).

GENERAL INFORMATIONMVP is not responsible for nor does it guarantee the accuracy or reproduction quality of materials that do not meet these specifications. Changes to supplied material will be made by the publisher only on written instructions from agency or client, and such changes must be received at least 30 days prior to cover date. MVP can accept native files in a limited number of formats. Changes can only be made if the native files, fonts, and graphics are supplied. MVP endeavors to comply with all advertiser’s changes. However, MVP assumes no responsibility for errors and omissions resulting from such changes.

Digital/Web:

• Be sure to include your Web address in your ad creative.

• Online editions will include your ad exactly as it appears in print, but for us to legally link the ad to your Web site, your Web address must be included in the ad.

SHIPPING INFORMATIONAll materials must be received on or before issue closing date.Ads can be submitted on CD, DVD or via electronic transmission. Please contact your sales rep regarding digital transfer of ad materials. Many of our publications can accept materials by a proprietary web-based system called AdDrop.
