e. DIGITAL FILE REQUIREMENTS PDF/X-1A IS THE PREFERRED FILE FORMAT

f. UPLOAD YOUR AD TO THE TW AD PORTAL AT HTTP://WWW.TRAVELWEEKLY.COM/ADUPLOAD.ASPX

g. PROOFS ARE OPTIONAL Travel Weekly will no longer use color proofs on press. Travel Weekly’s printer uses a closed-loop color system to set the press to SWOP specifications. Be sure your file is prepared to SWOP specifications.

h. AD SIZE Build your ad to the exact live or bleed size that appears on the TravelWeekly Ad Dimensions sheet on page 18. Turn off crop marks.

i. NAMING CONVENTION Name your ad with no more than 20 characters, including thefile extension. File names longer than 20 characters will be truncated. Use YOUR clientname and the TW issue date within the name, for example Cruisehtel111710.pdf. Beginany revised files with REV.

j. TYPE SAFETY AND BLEED All live type and images must be kept .25” from trim. Be sureall bleed ads extend to the bleed specifications .125” beyond the trim.

k. COLORS Delete any unused colors. RGB, LAB, and ICC based colors must be convertedto CMYK. Convert duotone images to CMYK.

l. IMAGE RESOLUTION Continuous tone images should be set to an effective resolutiongreater than or equal to 300 dpi. If you place an image that is 300 dpi but scale it above125% the effective resolution changes to 214 dpi. For best results, place all images ator close to 100%. Total CMYK densities should not exceed 300 percent in the darkestareas of an image. Do not use JPEG compression.

m. FONTS AND RULES Do not “menu-style’ your fonts. These styles may not have matchingprinter fonts available and may not print correctly. For effects such as bold or italic, select a bold or italic font. Avoid fine serifs on knockout type printing smaller than 8 points. Do not use 100% four-color type. (This would equate to 400% total density, which is noncompliant). Avoid hairline rules less than .007” or ½ point. Use only Type 1 or Truetype Fonts.

n. TRAPPING Do not trap your file. The file will be trapped according to Travel Weekly’s printer specifications during the prepress stage.

o. PDF FILE GUIDELINES The preferred file format for ads is PDF/X1z using Adobe Acrobat 6 or higher. Never “Save or Export pages as PDF” from the native file. Print PostScript to file, then convert Postscript file to PDF/X-1a using Acrobat Distiller’s preconfigured setting from the default drop down menu. This will greatly improve the reliability and efficiency of the ad being submitted by eliminating the most common errors in file preparation.

p. PRE-FLIGHTING Preflighting ensures that the PDF file you create is print-ready andallows you to catch error such as RGB images, missing fonts and missing images.There are several software companies such as Enfocus, Markszware and Callas thatoffer preflight software packages. If you don’t have pre-flight software you can go toAdobe’s website at www.adobe.com to preflight your PDF file before sending. Thesoftware used to process digital ads will automatically convert RGB image to CMYK, fixhairline rules and fix total ink coverage issues (density); therefore, it is highly recommendedthat you pre-flight the file.

q. SUPPLIED INSERTS QUANTITY 30,000 per run (Includes spoilage and is subject tochange). Contact Lisa Gonzales for specifications, deadlines and delivery instructions.Insert reservations must be arranged through a sales representative. Insert availabilityis limited. Reserve early to secure preferred issue date. Regional splits are available.Samples/paper mock-ups must be submitted to Lisa Gonzales at least two weeks priorto issue close date for approval. Advertisers running supplied inserts must supplytheir digital files for the inserts to be included in Travel Weekly’s digital edition. It isthe advertiser and its agency’s responsibility to ensure that inserts comply with thePublisher’s requirements, Periodical Postal Regulations and other Federal and StateLaws and Regulations. Due to postal requirements, some inserts do not qualify forPeriodical postage rates. Any additional USPS charges incurred will be billed at cost.

r. COVERWRAPS AND GATEFOLDS Contact Lisa Gonzales for specifications and deadlines.Coverwrap and gatefold availability is limited. Reservations must be arranged througha sales representative. Reserve early to secure preferred issue date.

s. ADVERTORIAL Advertorial ads create powerful vehicles for clients to communicate with Travel Weekly readers. Travel Weekly is bound by federal law to ensure editorial andadvertising are clearly marked to avoid confusing readers. The design of advertorialads must in no way resemble the Travel Weekly editorial format. It is expected thata unique design will be used.
