OFFSET DIGITAL AD REQUIREMENTS
Preferred File Format: Current file formats supported by Condé Nast Publications are TIFF/IT.P1, CT/LW or raster-based DCS-2.
We will not accept any native application files such as Quark, Photoshop or Illustrator. Information should be supplied on a Macintosh formatted JAZ, Zip or CD-ROM. Materials should include three files: final page (FP), continuous tone (CT=12) and line work (LW=80). The CT file should comply with SWOP standards between 200 and 400 dpi, LW files should be 2400 dpi. The total density should not exceed SWOP, which is 300%. Any 5th color or spot color should be in a separate file (please include a separate checklist). All required trapping must be included in the file. The black text should be merged with the LW: right reading, portrait mode only, 100% size, no rotations, standard trim and bleed marks in all separations. Use only postscript fonts. Truetype fonts are unacceptable. Avoid use of Multiple Master fonts. Images for 4/C ads must be submitted as final, high-resolution, CMYK files. Ads created in Microsoft Word, Microsoft Publisher, PowerPoint or any other word processing program will not be accepted. All digital pages should include a printout of contents of each disk supplied as well as correct copy information for content and positioning.
Preferred Color Guidance: Please provide Kodak Approval, CREO Spectrum or Iris digital proofs for color guidance on press. The supplied color guidance must meet all SWOP specifications and must include a 6mm 5%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% CMYK patch strip for quality control.
