Specifications:
SPD prefers to have all ads submitted on disk (CD, 100 MB zip disk, or floppy disks are acceptable) in Illustrator format (version 8.0 and up preferred). ALL FONTS MUST BE OUTLINED OR EMBEDDED. All photo and image scansmust be at least 200 dpi at 100% scale. Please also include a print-out of the ad in case of viruses or other disk problems. DO NOT INCLUDE PUBLISHER OR OTHER DISTRIBUTOR ADDRESS WITHIN THE AD. Be sure to note size requirements. Camera ready ads typically generate additional design and printing fees to SPD. These will be passed on to the publisher. Additional fees usually range from $20-$120. Please include full payment with ads.
ATTENTION ADVERTISERS: Because we are getting more requests from advertisers seeking to send PDF files, we now accept this file format for catalog ads.
However PDF files do not allow our production team to
'troubleshoot.' Therefore the advertiser assumes responsibility for technical problems, including missing fonts and embedded images that do not print clearly. If you are not familiar with the PDF process, please
review your acrobat documentation. We cannot provide technical
assistance, given the large quantity of ads that come in to SPD.
The catalog prints at 150 line screen, therefore for best results,
images in the pdf should be at a minimum of 300dpi. Full color ads
should be set up to separate as CMYK process colors.
