FOUR-COLOR ADS – DIGITAL MATERIAL REQUIREMENTSDigital material required: PDF/X-1a:2001. Film is not accepted.

■ TYPE FONTS | Include all screen and printer fonts with digital files. Try to avoid using style attributes offered in application toolbars. Use actual typefaces for best results. No Multiple Master (MM) fonts of any kind.

■ GRAPHICS | Images should be 200 dpi. ■ PROOFS | Provide proofs for digital ads. Digital hardcopy newspaper proofs are acceptable. If there is

no proof exchanged, the agency accepts the responsibility for the final print outcome. ■ SCREEN RULING | Dow Jones outputs at 100 lines per inch. ■ DOT GAIN | For best print results, compensate for 35% dot gain (tone value increase) in the midtone

dot at 100-line screen.

The Wall Street Journal does not run spot-color inks. All files containing spot color or Pantone elements must be converted to a CMYK ink mix. Not all Pantone colors are able to be matched with CMYK inks.

Dot Size Requirements for 100-Line ScreenThe following dot-size requirements compensate for newsprint dot gain (TVI):

COLORNON-DETAIL

WHITES HIGHLIGHTS QUARTERTONE MIDTONE SHADOW

Cyan 0% 5% 20% 36% 60%Magenta 0 2 14 28 50Yellow 0 2 14 28 50Black 0 0 0 10 80

Other Color Quality Reminders: ■ MAXIMUM COLOR DENSITY | 220%

For optimum results use Gray Component Replacement (GCR) when preparing files. SNAP ICC newspaper profile is available at wsjmediakit.com, or contact the local ad services bureau.

■ MAXIMUM FOUR-COLOR BLACK | 90% Black, 40% Cyan, 20% Magenta, 20% Yellow ■ TEXT & GRAPHICS | Type should only be surprinted in areas having tint values of 30% or less. Multi-

Colored type and type reversed out of two or more colors should not be smaller than 14 point and should be reversed out of areas having at least 70% tone value in Black, Magenta or Cyan. Remove all colors under reverse to avoid registration problems.

■ UNSHARP MASKING | Higher levels of unsharp masking should be applied to newspaper advertising where the subject matter permits.

■ TRANSPARENCIES | Use of transparencies in original files should be avoided due to unpredictable results that create image artifacts when flattened prior to publication. All transparencies must be flattened prior to original file submission.

CONTRACT AND COPY REGULATIONS

Dow Jones & Company engages the services of contract printers in most areas of distribution to print The Wall Street Journal and other products. Outsourced printing provides readers with more timely news content and more efficient delivery service.

Caused by format variations in printing equipment, the image size of the product will be altered to fit when necessary, which can result in reduction and/or distortion to the product images. Some contract printers might not be able to produce all required pages in process color. Although we make every effort to ensure that quality reproduction processes are preserved, we cannot guarantee ad sizes or colors will be exact. Color pricing is set to reflect up to a 6% missed color variance. Advertisers will not be entitled to compensation due to size and color constraints beyond Dow Jones control. Please be assured that the content and message of all ads would not be affected.
