universe that does not have a region? The answer is
no, for there is no such place. You see, everywhere
you can think of or imagine, there is a region.”
― Dr. JD Lee, Founder

File Types Supported: Hi Res PDFs are preferred.
You can also submit native Adobe InDesign, Adobe
Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop files with all supporting
art and fonts. REGION only accepts native files for the PC
platform. Any files prepared on the Macintosh platform
must have all fonts converted to the proper format and
saved as a hi res PDF. You may provide a CD of your files

Required Proof: In order to maintain the most
accurate color reproduction in our publication, we
prefer the calibrated GATF/SWOP approved proofs with
color bars and marks. These include: Matchprint (digital
or analogue), Creo Proof, Polaroid Proof, Kodak
Approval. We also accept Iris and Rainbow proofs.
However, REGION reserves the right to dictate color on
ads supplied with these types of proofs. Unacceptable
color proof output options for color checking include but
are not limited to: HP 5000, Epson 5000/9000/10000, Inkjet
and Color Laser Copier. These devices lack the color
consistency of higher-level proofs.
Color: All ads must be CMYK; RGB and PMS
colors are not acceptable. Due to the nature of the
printing process and paper stock, color may vary
somewhat from preferred proofs.
Images: All images must be in CMYK or
Grayscale mode at 300 dpi saved as TIFF or EPS.
Maximum ink density for any CMYK image should be
260%. Jpegs and image files using indexed color, RGB
mode or LZW compression will not output correctly.
Fonts: Please include all fonts used in your
layout. Do not stylize fonts in QuarkXPress as this may
cause them to output incorrectly.
Design Intervention: The design of an ad is an
integral part of the style of REGION. We reserve the final
approval rights on design and photography used in all
advertisements. Artwork should be approved by REGION
before final production begins.

Rates: Introductory pricing rates are based on
contracts signed on or before December 31, 2013.
Rate Protection: Rates are subject to change
at the sole discretion of the publisher. If any rate
increase occurs within the schedule of an advertising
run, advertisers will continue at their locked in rate
through the length of the term of their contract.
Approval: All advertising is subject to the
publisher’s approval, and the publisher reserves the right
to reject or cancel any advertisement, space
reservation, or position commitment at any time, with
reasonable notice to the advertiser, and whether or not
such advertising was previously acknowledged,
accepted or published. Acceptance of advertisement
by the publisher shall in no way constitute endorsement
by the publisher or the magazine for the contents of the
advertisement or the product or service advertised.
Ad Position: Exact position of advertisement,
except premium placement, is at the discretion of the
publisher and will not be bound by any condition
appearing on insertion orders or copy instructions that
conflict with the provisions of this rate card.
Materials: Written confirmation of material
corrections is required by closing date. If an advertiser
fails to provide required material to meet deadlines of
the issue in which space has been ordered, one of two
actions will be taken: (1) The last published
advertisement available will be repeated, or (2) If no
advertisement is available, the space will be forfeited. In
either case, the advertiser will be billed for the space
reserved.
Payment Policy: All advertisers must prepay
their advertisement by the publisher’s advertising
deadline. Multiple issue contracts can either be paid in
full or per week. If paying in full, the entire contract
amount is due by the first publisher’s advertising
deadline. If paying per week, the cost per insertion is due
by the week prior to the publisher’s advertising deadline.
Cancellation: All cancellations must be
received in writing no later than 2 weeks prior to that
issue’s advertising deadline. After that, the advertiser is
responsible for 100% payment of ad space for that issue
pursuant to the contract.
Limits of Liability: The liability of the publisher for
any error for which it may be held legally responsible will
not exceed the cost of the space ordered or occupied
by the error. The publisher specifically assumes no liability
for errors in key numbers. The publisher will not, in any
event, be liable for direct, special, incidental or
consequential damages, including but not limited to loss
of income or profits.
