Requirements

Digital File & Contract Proof: Must be clearly indicated as to Issue, Publication and Advertiser.

Print File Format

The only file format supported by gb&d is a press-ready .pdf. We will NOT accept any native application files such as InDesign, Quark, or Illustrator. Materials should be supplied on a Macintosh-formatted CD-ROM or DVD-ROM. Materials should comply with SWOP standards.

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%, 75% and 100% CMYK patch strip for quality control. All proofs are to be pulled on publication grade stock. A set of two laser proofs (paginated) including the crop marks must be sent with materials. On bleed ads and undersized non-bleed ads, provide separate ruled position proof showing trim.

File Storage

Digital files will be stored for a period of 3 months, after which they will be destroyed unless written instructions are received to return them.
