Digital Submissions

The preferred format for all electronic files is PDF. Most newer versions of page layout and graphics software have the ability to export as a PDF or print to a PDF. In either case these are fine as long as you embed all fonts and convert all your images to CMYK. Most applications will give you several options for the PDF such as screen or print. Choose the PDF/X-1a or Press Quality.

For those applications that do not have these built-in options you will need to save your file as a postscript file and use Adobe Acrobat Distiller to create the PDF. For in depth information, including the benefits of creating an Acrobat Distilled PDF, see Adobe’s White Paper on producing print-ready documents. These procedures will result in the best quality print with the least likelihood for errors.

We support PC-based Adobe CS2 (Acrobat, Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, and CorelDraw). Files must includes all fonts and CMYK links necessary for placement.

All other files must be saved as encapsulated postscript files (EPS) with fonts converted to curves and all CMYK links saved within the files. All colors should be CMYK and all embedded images should be at least 300 dpi.

Hard copy must be submitted with all electronic files. We accept files on CD, DVD or Zip Disk or you can upload files to our server. For uploading instructions, contact our Internet Department at 1.800.525.1403. Be sure to send an email to kim@nccoast.com notifying us that you have uploaded your ad.
