Michels Communications Corporation is not responsible for errors the advertiser fails to correct. The color of your on-screen ad proof and the printed ad may not be exact, and can vary upon publication. Images saved directly from the web are most likely low resolution and rarely convertible to the required resolution for print. Please submit ads/ad materials directly to your marketing consultant.
Please supply the following materials to ensure that your ad can be created in a timely manner and returned for approval:
• Your text to be included in the ad. Please submit in a typed format (Microsoft Word doc or email).
• Your logo as an EPS file. If you do not have this file, we also accept high resolution PDF, JPEG or TIFF files.
• Your high resolution image(s) that you would like to include as a JPG, TIFF or PDF file(s).
• If you have a sample ad you would like us to refer to while creating your ad, please supply that as well.
Please follow guidelines below:
• Your ad must meet the required size specifications of the ad size you have agreed to (see specs above).
• Images and logos should have a minimum resolution of 300 dpi.
• To ensure best quality, please provide your ad as a print-ready PDF with all text outlined in a CMYK format. If you cannot provide a PDF file, the following types of files may be accepted: JPG, TIFF, PSD*, AI*.
*Note that all “working” files should have text outlined and graphics/images embedded to avoid issues when opened.
