Preferred formats

The preferred method of receiving your publication is in PDF format, with all fonts embedded, high resolution, no compression. See below for further details.

Some programs have an export feature which allows the creation of PDFs within the program. Often, this only creates a low resolution PDF suitable for proofing. We do not recommend that you use this feature unless you have the option to change the PDF settings.

Compression
Files should always be sent uncompressed if possible.

Fonts
All fonts must be embedded into the PDF file.

Photoshop: If a font must look as built, please rasterize the text layer or send an additional flattened version of the file.

Quark: If a font must look as built, please convert that text using TEXT TO BOX.

Color palette
Always supply files in CMYK mode (for full color ads) or Grayscale (for black and white ads). Never send artwork in RGB mode.

Resolution
The resolution should never be less than 300 dpi to insure quality reproduction of your publication.

Hard copy
We recommend that you always supply a printed hard copy of the electronic file so that we may compare and verify that there have been no errors in the conversion process.

Where to submit files
Email: Files can be supplied via email. Please send all camera-ready files to: printjob@nvdaily.com

Please include any information you have on the ad. Helpful information includes:

• Number of pages

FTP Site: If the file is too large for your email server to process, we can retrieve ads from your FTP site. If you wish us to download your ad from an FTP site, please supply us with the host, user ID, password and directory information (if necessary). We do not normally post our own FTP site.

We can receive camera-ready ad slicks, or disks through the mail. When sending a disk, please burn the file to a Mac compatible CD or DVD if possible. When supplying art from a disk, please include a printout of the file to verify the contents of the disk. We can retrieve files from other formats if necessary. Please call 800-296-5137 for specific information.

In case of errors
If we encounter a technical error with your file, we will try to contact you to give you the opportunity to correct and resend. If there is no time, we will try to correct the error here as best as possible. We reserve the right to adjust the file as needed to work within our guidelines. If the error can not be corrected in time, you may lose your time slot on the press and you will be contacted by the Commercial Printing Department to reschedule.
