PLACEMENT DEADLINES

All ad copy and ad booking deadlines have been fixed for the coming year, but Protoculture Addicts has built in some flexibility in its deadlines. There is a limited number of full color pages, so quantity is limited and will be booked on a first come, first served basis.

Any ad booked but not received on deadline for publication will still be invoiced (If an ad is late, please contact us, Protoculture Addicts will try to accommodate advertisers in cases of reasonable delay).

Ads must be received (by e-mail or mail) before deadlines.

SPECIFICATIONS

All Ads must be sent electronically (preferably as low compression JPEG, TIFF, EPS file or as a hi-res PDF) via FTP or e-mail. Alternatively, it may also be sent by mail on CD-Rom. FTP instructions will be provided upon request.

Please, don't send files that are specific to a software like Photoshop (.PSD) or Illustrator (.AI).

Minimum resolution is 300 dpi. Make sure to have the right ad size and to respect crop marks positioning.

If your are sending a PDF file, you must, when you are outputting the file, specify a larger size than the document (something like 9.375 x 11.875) in order to preserve the bleed. If not, since PDF is a presentation format, the document will be cut to the crop marks when the PDF is produced.

For Full Page Ads, don't forget the bleed (0.125" all around: 8.375 x 10.875) and printing marks (Registration & Crop marks) to insure proper positioning.

A proof can be sent by mail (color print-out or color match), but a secure PDF file can also do.

For the small ads, other formats are available upon request (any combination of the 1/12 ad-block can be used).

Please note that for any additional work (correction, conversion, re-sizing, adjustment, etc.) we will charge an extra $75.00 US.
