A Digital Waterproof, Kodak Approval, Polaproof, Iris or Rainbow are acceptable and should conform to SWOP standards to ensure that the printed results match supplied proof. If ads are submitted without adequate color proofs, one will be provided by the publisher and the cost will be charged back to the customer. BLEEDS Create at least 1/8" (.125'') bleed beyond trim, on top, bottom and sides. Build spreads as printers spreads (two separate pages in the Quark file) this will allow for the proper bleed across the gutter for binding.
