Maximize your ad's appeal by following these simple guidelines
Preferred file format
Wisconsin Gazette prefers PDF files with fonts embedded for maximum quality of your printed ad. But if you must send your ad as a high-resolution image, then please save it on at least HIGH quality JPEG at 300 dpi or higher. No crop marks are necessary. We do not accept Quark or InDesign native files. Click here to learn more about the PDF format.
Fonts/typefaces
Because you will be saving and sending your ads as PDF, take care to embed your fonts to ensure proper proper printing. If the fonts are not embedded, we cannot guarantee the finished look of your ad.
Images
Use high-resolution images (300 dpi). The total maximum dot combined should not exceed 240 percent. Tiny images taken from Web sites are not suitable for high-quality advertising. Do not include images that you do not have permission to use.
Reverse type/colored type
Reverse type, delicate serifs and fine strokes do not reproduce well. Reversed text in a solid black area should be no less than 10 point in size.
Type that is to be reversed out of two or more overprinting colors should be no less than 14 point. Colored type created by overprinting the process colors should be no less than 14 point.
Black ink/rich black
All black type should be 100% black ink, not rich black. Rich black is created by combining CMYK values.
Color
Please send full-color ads whenever possible. All ads are full-color at no additional charge.
