PRINT AD MATERIALS REQUIREMENTS

Electronic Media
We can accept PC or Macintosh versions of any of these software programs (in order of preference):
PDF/X-1a
PDF—saved at 300 dpi or higher; all color items must be created as CMYK (process colors), composite only; embed all fonts
Quark XPress (send all supporting fonts and pictures)
Photoshop—min. 260 dpi; saved as TIF, EPS or JPEG
Illustrator files exported as EPS (all type converted to outlines)
InDesign files exported as EPS (Send all fonts and linked graphics)

For each ad submitted, you must supply:
• Laser proof or low-resolution PDF for comparison purposes
• For native Mac files—all screen and printer fonts; Type 1 fonts will be substituted for TrueType fonts
• All graphics or other placed/embedded elements

Color Settings
All color used in the file must be a CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, black) process build. Please do not embed color profiles in Photoshop images. If RGB images or graphics containing Pantone colors are supplied, color will be converted to CMYK or closest process match. For an additional charge, a single Pantone color may be used; contact your sales rep. NOTE: Native files, fonts and pictures are required for any ad in which a Pantone color is to be used.

Color Proofs
Color proofs are not required for ads supplied electronically, but are strongly recommended; NGA will not guarantee final color of digital ads unless a press-ready color proof is supplied. Color lasers can only be used for file comparison purposes.

DELIVERY OPTIONS

1. E-mail files to wdads@glass.org

Fax a copy of the finished ad to 703/442-7972 or send a PDF for proofing purposes. Before sending large graphic files as e-mail attachments, check with your network administrator to see if a size limit has been placed on your address; if so see Option 2 as an alternative. Maximum attachment size accepted by NGA is 30MB. Do not send any attachment with ".exe" extension; it will be quarantined.
