Advertising Specifications
Meeting our specifications is essential. If you do not have the services of a professional graphic designer, we can refer you to a designer whose work meets our needs.
Midheaven Magazine accepts ads only in electronic digital format. Your ad must be built with the exact dimensions of the size you have reserved.
*PDF files are preferred. Acceptable Digital File Types:
- *Print Quality (or Press Quality) PDF files are preferred
- Highest Quality JPEG or JPG files
- TIFF files with all fonts 100% embedded
For display ads, we do not accept Word files or ‘native’ files from InDesign, Pagemaker, Quark, Illustrator, Microsoft Publisher, Pages, or any other design program.
All Black & White ads must be converted to grayscale. Do not leave any black-and-white ads in RGB color space. Full-color ads should be submitted using CMYK rather than RGB.
Resolution: 300 dot-per-inch (dpi) minimum. (Note: 72-dip or 96-dpi “Web-ready” graphics are NOT acceptable for use as print ads).
Note: Digital files that do not conform to the above specifications (due to incorrect size, unembedded fonts, etc.) may incur file-fix charges at the rate of $50 per hour (1/2 hour minimum charge).
