Print-ready ads
We prefer press-ready PDF files with fonts embedded and require a color proof of the final ad. Without a final proof, we cannot guarantee that your ad will print correctly. For accurate color selection, use Process or Pantone® book colors. Pantone® 5th colors, metallic inks and varnishes must be priced separately by the publisher.

We will not guarantee color accuracy of your ad unless a color press-match proof is submitted with your ad files.

In addition to your PDF file, we would like the source files of the ad (i.e. InDesign or Quark file, all links & fonts). Please contact us if you have any questions regarding file set up. All images need to be in CMYK format and set up for a 150-line screen.

We use Macintosh computers and a variety of software including InDesign, Quark, Photoshop and Illustrator. We can access Zip disks, CD-ROMs and DVDs. We also have an ftp site and high-speed Internet connection.

When collecting your final ad files, please use pre-flighting software so no fonts or images get missed.

All ads (except full pages) must be bordered or have a background color that extends to the full ad size.

Ads requiring any additional work or time on our part will result in the advertiser being charged $95.00/hour for production time with a 1-hour minimum.

Additional creative services from the magazine’s production department (logo design, artwork, photo manipulation, etc.) will be billed at $95.00 per hour.

We are not responsible for problems due to corrupt or missing fonts or files, images or colors in wrong format or files that are incorrectly sized or set-up.

If any ad created by Telluride Publishing is used in any other media, a minimum of $150 will be charged to the client.
