Please follow these requirements if submitting your ad digitally:

We encourage you to send your ad as a pdf file.

The programs we are currently using are Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, and QuarkXpress for the Macintosh.

We prefer ads to be laid out in QuarkXpress. Make sure that you include all images and fonts (both screen and printer) used in your ad. If you are using any other page lay-out program you must convert your files to either a PDF or EPS file. Be sure you convert all images to CMYK before printing.

If you are creating ads in Adobe Illustrator, make sure you include all linked images and convert all type into outlines.

All images used in ads must be a minimum of 300 dpi.

If you are creating your ads in Adobe Photoshop, please include a flattened version saved as either a .tiff or a Photoshop EPS.

Please do not use dcs images in your ads. You must convert all dcs images in Photoshop to .tiff or Photoshop .eps images.

For PC users, we can only accept tif, jpg, pdf, and eps files. You must be able to save the final version of your ad in one of these formats. If you need any assistance, please feel free to contact Kelly Albertson at 973-347-6900 ext. 148.

If you are using Corel, save your document as an Illustrator EPS image and convert all type to outlines.

If you are using Pagemaker or InDesign, you must export your files as PDF’s. Make sure that you do not downsample your images to 72 dpi when you export.

Remember: make sure to include all images and fonts on your disk.

We encourage you to send your ad as a pdf file.

All color ads must be accompanied by a color accurate proof. This means the proof must be a true continuous tone proof. We will accept an Iris proof, a Digital Match print, a Rainbow proof, a Kodak approval or an Agfa Sherpa proof. Color prints from a desktop inkjet printer do not qualify as proper proofs and can not be accepted as true representations of color.

All proofs must be in CYMK
(4-color process) format.

Failure to supply one of the approved forms of color proof, exonerates All American Crafts from all color issues
. Remember that what you see on your screen is not necessarily the way the ad is going to look on the a printed page. If it is necessary for us to create a color proof, you will be billed accordingly.

You may e-mail your ads. Please make sure you include all the necessary files associated with your ads. Make your ads either jpg, pdf, or eps files. They may be compressed as .sit or .zip before sending. If you e-mail us your ad, we still require that you provide us with a color proof. Ads can be e-mailed to: smoncelsi@allamericancrafts.com. Please be sure to include contact information and specify in which magazine and issue the ad is appearing.

It is the advertiser’s responsibility to make sure that the ad material is sent in correctly and that everything needed is included. If you have any problems or questions concerning your ad, please contact Kelly Albertson at (973) 347-6900 ext. 148. Please make every effort to have your ad material to us as early as possible.

Please send all non e-mailed ads to Sandy Moncelsi, All American Crafts, 7 Waterloo Rd, Stanhope, NJ 07874.
