GENERAL REPRODUCTION GUIDELINES:
The New Yorker is printed using web offset presses, with both saddle and perfect binding. Trim size is 7-7/8" x 10-3/4", with three columns per page (2-1/4" wide). Body pages are printed on a 36# grade-five groundwood stock. Covers and newsstand wrap are printed on a 60# grade-three freesheet. For best reproduction, halftone areas with less than an 8% dot should be avoided, and shadows should not exceed 90%. Ads containing darkened detail should be “opened” in scanning to hold maximum detail in the 3/4 tone to darkened range, as subtle differences may not reproduce distinctly on press. Thin lines, serifs, and small type should be restricted to one color, and should not reverse out of less than 25% tone. Color or reverse type smaller than 10 point cannot be guaranteed perfect registration and is not recommended. When type overprints tone, screen value of tone should not exceed 30% to assure legibility. When using reverse type, the dominant color in the tone should define the shape of the type; subordinate colors should be spread to minimize register variation and optimize legibility. Reproduction of cover spreads will vary due to stock differences. Perfect alignment of type or design across gutter cannot be guaranteed. |
|
DEADLINES/MATERIAL HOLD
For ad close deadlines please see Ad Close Dates sheet. All material received after closing date will be inspected if time permits, but may run “as is.” If late material is at variance with SWOP specifications, the results may not meet expectations. Materials will be held for six months and then destroyed. |
|
REGIONAL/SPLIT-RUN ADS & INSERTS
Copy splits, regional ads, and inserts will be delivered to their proper areas subject to an allowable variance of 5-10% due to mechanical tolerances and local distribution patterns. Newsstand copies are not split regionally. |
