Material Requirements
Advertisements in Digital Format
Ad must be prepared to mechanical specifications shown above and provided in digital format. Clients will be expected to bear any and all costs incurred by the publisher for changing, correcting, reworking or repairing ad materials. The client assumes all responsibility for files that do not output correctly due to errors or omissions during production. Please do not submit native application files from programs such as Quark, InDesign or Publisher.

Format and File Preparation

• Preference for ad format is an EPS file (save files to a format for the ad to be placed in Quark for Windows). Include embedded fonts (or convert fonts to outlines) and embed all images at 300 dpi.
• Ads may also be sent as a high resolution PDF file — make sure all fonts and images are embedded.
• Ads must be saved in CMYK mode, not RGB or index color.

Sending ads

• Ads may be copied on a CD-ROM and mailed to IAPD headquarters or e-mailed to Janet Thill at jthill@iapd.org.
• Ads also may also be posted on IAPD’s in-house server. E-mail Janet Thill for details at jthill@iapd.org or call +913.345.1005.
• All two-color or four-color ads must be provided with a high quality color proof.
