Insert information & quotes available on request. Ask about our design and photography services. Ad File Format Specifications: 300+ DPI TIFF or highest-quality JPG, CMYK EPS or PDF file with fonts embedded or outlined Please make sure your ad is the correct dimensions (see opposite side) and is CMYK, not RGB. Full-bleed ads: Please make sure no text is within ¼ inch of the trimline. Here are some terms you may need to know: BLEED - To print right up to the edge of the page, printers print past the edge of the page, then cut it to size. The area that s printed on, but is cut off, is called the bleed. HIGH-RES/DPI - Dots Per Inch, also called resolution. This describes how many dots are printed in one square inch of paper. Computer monitors have much lower resolution (72) than print (300+), so images that look big on your computer need to look huge on your computer to look good in print. CMYK/RGB - Our printer combines Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black to make colors. Computers use Red, Green, and Blue. TIFF - An image file format that is very large, but doesn t compress the image to save space, and so is great for print. JPG - A compressed image file format that trades quality for a smaller file size. JPG s can be used as long as they are set to high quality (low/no compression) and are at least as big as the size required (see the opposite side for pixel dimensions for ads). Questions? Don t hesitate to contact our publisher, Amy Robb, at (904) 494-8281 or AMY@EDIBLENEFLORIDA.COM
