Materials For Publications
If your particular file does not have an enclosed image, this means we will need to scan in your photography or artwork. To ensure good quality artwork please follow the requirements listed below:
- Measure artwork to make sure it is no larger than 8 1/2" x 11".
- Send a clear copy of artwork or original photo. Quality of copier copies; fax copies; pencil drawings; and screened photos; including catalog page tearouts or any other pre-published material (contain dots and may blur), cannot be guaranteed.
- Quality of separations required from artwork that have an overlay (type over an image), other than line art, and anything that has a dark background in which an image has to be extracted (e.g.,. black ink on red paper) cannot be guaranteed.
- NO negatives, slides, or transparencies will be accepted.We have no means of reproduction.
- Please make a note that there will be a charge for EACH photograph submitted whether it’s an original photograph or a digital image.
- Please attach all artwork that is to be scanned with a PAPER CLIP to the accompanying catalog ad form. DO NOT USE TAPE OR STAPLES as they may cause tears or other permanent marks that may deface the original photographs.
