“My wife and I are both retired and we do a lot of babysitting for our grandkids.

“The idea of a trip under 300 miles appeals to us since we don’t like to go too far from home but long weekends work out great for us and our schedule.”

MECHANICAL SPECIFICATIONS
For Display Advertising in the Travel Guide
 

Camera-Ready Artwork
If you will be providing artwork, files should be prepared “to size.” (see chart at right for exact dimensions).

All embedded images must be converted to CMYK (not RGB, LAB or indexed color).

Truetype and Multiple Master (MM) fonts are not supported so all fonts should be converted to outlines before sending.

For bleed ads (available with full page ads only), add 3/8" trim to sides and keep live matter 1/4" away from edge.

Advertiser takes full responsibility for the accuracy of supplied files. Art will be published as submitted.

Publisher does not accept responsibility for reproduction when materials supplied do not meet the requested specifications. Publisher assumes no liability for copy errors.

PDF Submissions
Submissions via print-optimized PDFs are preferred. Please ensure that all colors are trapped correctly prior to exporting your PDF since we cannot check detailed trapping in print-quality PDFs. Be sure to pay extra attention to any files created in Adobe Illustrator.
