Since we build our ads into the magazine text, absolute size is not 100% critical, except for full-page ads, full-page bleed ads (or any ads that bleed). If your ad is a little larger or smaller than our listed sizes, within reason of course, we will accept your ad.
COMPUTER FILES
We prefer the PDF file format for all ads (version 4.0), however, we can accept self-contained high resolution .tif files and .eps files (which need to be mailed on a CD because of their larger physical data size). PDF files can be attached to an email, or mailed on a CD. If you email your PDF please do not “zip” the file. Email it as is.
The software we use inhouse is the Windows XP version of Adobe Creative Suite CS3 Premium (InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional, etc.). We also use Pagemaker 7.0, and Coreldraw 12. Needless to say our printer also works with Mac software (InDesign, Quark, Pagemaker, Illustrator, etc.). However, using PDF files for you ad (or self-contained .tif and .eps files) makes the native software a moot question.
MAKING PDF FILES
There are settings that need to be implemented when distilling your PDF ad file for use by Saxophone Journal. Please go to: www.dornpub.com\saxophonejournal\makingpdffiles.html
A WORD ABOUT COLOR AND JPEG IMAGES
Please make sure there is no spot color, or RGB color in your ad. The primary source of RGB color are JPEG pictures so please convert all JPEGs to CMYK. All color ads must be 100% CMYK.
FLIGHT CHECK WILL BE PERFORMED ON YOUR AD BY US
We will check the color in your ad with the built-in Preflight in Adobe Acrobat Reader 8.0. Which, of course, you can do also if you are using Adobe Acrobat Professional software (click Advanced, then Preflight).
FULL PAGE BLEEDS AND CROP MARKS
There is no extra charge for ads that bleed off the page. Our full-page trim size is 8.375 inches wide by 10.875 inches tall. If you have a full page bleed ad, background art must extend .25 inches more. No crop marks of any kind are needed.
MAGAZINE PAPER STOCK
We print on high quality 50lb Finch Opaque pure white paper. Our cover is printed on 60lb sterling ultra pure white coated paper. Saddle stitch binding is used.
DISCOUNTS
A 10% discount is offered for consecutive black & white ad placement(s) starting with the second placement on. A 15% discount is applied to all CMYK color ads.
INSERTS
Saxophone Journal is mailed to subscribers in quality polybag envelopes. Advertising flyers, or brochures, can be loosely placed inside the magazine only. We can design, print, and insert your flyer for a competitive price but plan ahead and allow plenty of time.
COLOR ADS
Standard (CMYK) process colors are used to print Saxophone Journal. Black is counted as one color for all CMYK color ads. Therefore, a 4-color ad is black plus cyan, magenta, yellow.
To assure color matching at the printing press level, a high quality color print of your color CMYK ad should be mailed regular mail. If you do not mail a color print we accept no responsibility for color accuracy. Having said this, we have a superlative track record for quality color printing so it isn’t necessary to be overly concerned, unless you are a stickler for absolute precision.
USE OF PHOTOS AND LINE ART IN ADS
All photos (color or grayscale) need to be 300 d.p.i. to print well from an offset press, and all line art needs to be a 450 to 600 d.p.i. bitmap image to print well.
FIRST-TIME ADVERTISERS
Please send payment with first ad placement. Overseas advertisers must make payment with a VISA or Mastercard faxed to our secure fax (which only I read). Under no circumstances should you email VISA or Mastercard information.
OUR SECURE FAX NUMBER IS: 508 278 7559
IF WE MAKE YOUR B&W AD FOR YOU
We will make your B&W ad for a one-time fee of $55 (includes photo scans, design and layout, and PDF proof sent by email). Save time, energy, hassles, and money by letting us make your ad.
ACCEPTANCE OF ALL ADS
Saxophone Journal reserves the right to review and/or reject any advertising deemed not appropriate to the magazine.
INFORMATION ABOUT COLOR AD DISCOUNTS
Only CMYK process ink (color) is used. Cyan (blue), Magenta (red), Yellow, K=Black. No spot color, or RGB color is accepted
Additional colors beyond one (black) are $245 each color. CMYK colors such as green, deep reds, orange, brown, etc., require multiple mixes of inks. For example, green is a mix of yellow and blue.
Special Position Requests add 10% for B&W ads, 15% for color ads.
