Required Proof: In order to maintain the most accurate color reproduction in our publication, we prefer the calibrated GATF/SWOP approved proofs with color bars and marks. These include: Matchprint (digital or analogue), Creo Proof, Polaroid Proof, Kodak Approval. We also accept Iris and Rainbow proofs.

However, REGION reserves the right to dictate color on ads supplied with these types of proofs. Unacceptable color proof output options for color checking include but are not limited to: HP 5000, Epson 5000/9000/10000, Inkjet and Color Laser Copier. These devices lack the color consistency of higher-level proofs.

Color: All ads must be CMYK; RGB and PMS colors are not acceptable. Due to the nature of the printing process and paper stock, color may vary somewhat from preferred proofs.

Images: All images must be in CMYK or Grayscale mode at 300 dpi saved as TIFF or EPS. Maximum ink density for any CMYK image should be 260%. Jpegs and image files using indexed color, RGB mode or LZW compression will not output correctly.

Design Intervention: The design of an ad is an integral part of the style of REGION. We reserve the final approval rights on design and photography used in all advertisements. Artwork should be approved by REGION before final production begins.

Rate Protection: Rates are subject to change at the sole discretion of the publisher. If any rate increase occurs within the schedule of an advertising run, advertisers will continue at their locked in rate through the length of the term of their contract.

Approval: All advertising is subject to the publisher’s approval, and the publisher reserves the right to reject or cancel any advertisement, space reservation, or position commitment at any time, with reasonable notice to the advertiser, and whether or not such advertising was previously acknowledged, accepted or published. Acceptance of advertisement by the publisher shall in no way constitute endorsement by the publisher or the magazine for the contents of the advertisement or the product or service advertised.

Ad Position: Exact position of advertisement, except premium placement, is at the discretion of the publisher and will not be bound by any condition appearing on insertion orders or copy instructions that conflict with the provisions of this rate card.

If an advertiser fails to provide required material to meet deadlines of the issue in which space has been ordered, one of two actions will be taken: (1) The last published advertisement available will be repeated, or (2) If no advertisement is available, the space will be forfeited. In either case, the advertiser will be billed for the space reserved.
