The print shop for our 2009 Journal has modern computer
graphics capability. Best quality will be obtained by submitting your
advertisements on disk in one of the preferred formats listed below, with all
linked images and fonts. If you choose to send a disk, a hard copy of the ad
will be required for proofing. We are sending along with this a check list and
some tips on preparing files, this will help to eliminate potential problems.
We can also work from clear copies or camera ready art. By all means, please
submit your material promptly, well ahead of the deadline if at all possible.
Any questions can be directed by email to the
Dinner Dance Journal Committee <smpejournal@gmail.com> or to our office at

We are asking files to be sent in one of the fol/owing
formats:
MAC OR PC:
Adobe Illustrator 8 - .eps . Adobe Photoshop 5.5 - .tif. Quark 4.1
Word or Publisher can be sent for text files only, with fonts supplied
AVAILBLE MEDIA: 250 or 100 mb Zip, 1 gig Jazz, CD Rom,
3.5 floppy
Supplied Film: If supplying film, output film at 150
Ipi with crops and registration marks, colors should also be designated on
film.
Mac & PC - Please provide both the Screen (Bitmap) and
Printer (Postscript) elements of each font used. If this is not possible,
convert your type to curves. In Adobe Illustrator this command is "Create
Outlines" and in "CoreIDraw" it is "Convert to Curves." This is very
important if you want consistency in ad.
For Mac Files only, when applying a "Style" to type, do not
use the "measurement" or "control" palettes. Select the actual typestyle
from the font menu. This will ensure that the font will output correctly on
our imagesetters.
Make spot color names consistent and use Pantone color
palette, especially if more than one application is used to create your
file. (i.e., imported or placed eps files, duo tones, etc.) Output a laser
copy of all color plates to verify accurate color breaks.
Black & White Tiff's must be prepared so the finished art
will be a minimum of 1200 dpi at 100%. Grayscale Tiff's or DuoTones must be
prepared with a minimum of 300 dpi at 100%. Do not upsample images as this
will compromise quality, rescan if necessary.
