Mechanical Specifications
Alpacas Magazine is produced in Quark Xpress on the Macintosh, and perfect-bound. If you need additional information about mechanical specifications, contact Steph Pride, 785-537-0320, or e-mail: Steph@llamabanner.com.

ALL advertising materials must conform to the following specifications or materials may be subject to return.

  • Trim size of magazine is 81⁄2" x 107⁄8". Bleed ads should extend beyond trim size a minimum of 1⁄8".

  • Ads must be provided on disk, in Quark Xpress on the Macintosh. Postscript files that can be placed in Quark Xpress are also acceptable. Include all fonts and graphics used in creating the ad.

  • Business card ads do not have to be on disk. A disk is preferred, but a quality laser proof is acceptable. Laser proofs will be scanned for publication.

  • Four-color ads must be converted to CMYK and should be accompanied with a matchprint, color key, IRIS, Rainbow or similar color proof.
    A matchprint is the preferred color proof.

  • A spot color may be added to black and white ads for $50.

A “stand-by” list for each premium position will be maintained by the Advertising Manager.
If a premium space goes unclaimed by the established deadline, stand-by advertiser(s) will be contacted.
Stand-by advertising is not counted against the two-ad limit mentioned above.
