Preparing Ad Artwork
We print in black ink on white paper.
Acceptable Formats:
- Most preferred is high-resolution artwork emailed in PDF, TIFF, or EPS format. Please convert type into outlines before sending. Raster artwork should be prepared in grayscale colorspace (300 dpi at actual size) or as 1-bit artwork halftoned at 85 lines per inch.
- Hard copy camera-ready artwork (laserprint at least 300dpi resolution). High quality inkjet printouts will work if supplied on photo quality paper.
Problematic Formats:
- Do not send native files such as Illustrator or Photoshop unless you’re sure you’ve properly embedded graphics and fonts have been converted to outlines or rasterized.
- Microsoft Word files including funny fonts and clip art are discouraged but we’ll accept them with the understanding that you’re prepared to see your ad in Pecan Press look much different than you expected.
- JPG files.
Formats We Can't Use
- Microsoft Publisher artwork, GIF or WMF files.
- Files scanned or composed at “screen resolution” settings (raster files must be at least 300 dots per square inch at actual size).
In all cases, include a printed proof (or Acrobat PDF file) of your ad to ensure your advertising message will be accurately reproduced in the Pecan Press.
