We accept CD-ROMs
Digitally supplied color ads require a color-accurate proof (e.g., Iris, Kodak Approval, etc.) made from the supplied file—this for color-matching. We can not guarantee your expected color without a proof.
Laser proofs are only acceptable for gray-scale ads.

Additional file formats: TIFF, EPS.
All fonts in EPS files must be converted to outlines.
Any art or production work necessary to complete the preparation of an ad is subject to supplemental charges. Please ask us for a quote.
