Specifications for Submitting Notices Display Advertising

Electronic File Specifications:

All electronic ad files must be submitted in PDF format. We will not accept electronic ad files in any other format. PDF files should be made with Acrobat Distiller; PDFs exported from Adobe InDesign are acceptable.

Fonts:

  • ALL fonts must be included. Type 1 PostScript fonts preferred.

Graphics:

  1. All graphics placed in a file should be placed at 100% of their final printed dimensions or at an effective resolution of 300 DPI* (placed images which have been scaled to size will not produce high-quality final images).
  2. Please adhere to minimum requirements for DPI resolution for placed graphics:
    • 1200 DPI for purely black and white images, such as line art.
    • 600 DPI for combinations of halftones (graphics containing pictures [photos], text labeling, and/or thin lines such as arrows).
    • All fonts must be included, even fonts in placed EPS graphics (such as, for instance, a placed company logo). Include both printer and screen fonts and, if using Illustrator, save fonts as outline fonts when possible. Do not stylize fonts using fonts menu.

*Dimension is interdependent with resolution. For instance, consider a 72 DPI picture that is 1" x 1". If you scale that picture to 200% in InDesign, its "effective resolution" drops to 36 DPI. (Effective Resolution = [Resolution divided by % Scaled] x 100.)

For advertisers lacking desktop publishing software or other technical capabilities for producing ads, we will be happy to create a simple ad consisting of text alone or text and one graphic image. E-mail submission of your text is preferred, and a scannable hard copy of the graphic image is necessary. There will be a minimal fee for this service.

Ads can be sent, as attachments to e-mail, to notices-ads@ams.org.

Please submit hard copy corresponding to electronic ads so that we know exactly what your ad is supposed to look like.
