E-mail:
While we encourage a limit of 10 megabytes, files of up to 300 megabytes total may be submitted via e-mail to production.

PC submissions should be compressed with ZIP to save time and to reduce the submission to a single file.

Format:
A full discussion of the issues behind submitting workable files for offset print is beyond the scope of this site. If you are inexperienced in layout for offset print, it would be
better to hire an experienced graphic artist or
let Klatch design your artwork.

Acrobat (pdf) files work well, as long as they conform to the PDF/X1 standard. Be aware that UpClose makes no guarantee that PDF files will print properly if we have to make changes to them - Acrobat files should be submitted as completely finalized artwork.

Ideally, native files should be created in Quark Xpress or Adobe Indesign, with graphics from PhotoShop and Adobe Illustrator or Macromedia Freehand, as well as all fonts, included as separate files.

Scans should be in CMYK format, saved as an uncompressed TIFF file. If the scan has a clipping path, it should be saved as a PhotoShop EPS.

Vector Artwork should be saved from it's creator application into EPS format. It is recommended that no bit images be included inside of EPS artwork, and that a separate copy of the bitmap be included if this is done.

Klacth can often use files created in other programs, but can make no guarantee as to the results. This is especially true of Microsoft products. Please contact production with any specific questions.

Transportable Media:
Klatch Magazine can receive files on thumb/flash drives, DVD or CD in either Windows or Mac OS formats.
