Advertising Specifications Charlotte International Equestrian Market

at the Charlotte Convention Center • Charlotte, NC Ad Contract Deadline: October 7, 2016 • Ad Copy Deadline: October 14, 2016

Following is a copy of the AD SPECS for advertising materials to be submitted to Hopper Expositions Inc. for inclusion in the Market Directory. Please review the enclosed specifications carefully to ensure that your materials will meet the requirements. Due to the high cost of film and proofs, we require that all ad materials be sent digitally on a CD or DVD with all necessary files, fonts and images to output the file, as well as a proof of the ad. Files may also be emailed or uploaded directly to our graphic designer (her contact information is below). The printer that produces our Market Directory is direct-to-plate and has requested that all materials sent to them are in digital format—NO film will be used in the printing of this Directory. Please see next page for preferred ad file formats. Please review these requirements—if you have any questions on materials to submit for your advertisement, file preferences, etc. please call or email our graphic designer: Denise Mankin, (915) 587-0548 or [email protected] Our ultimate goal is to produce the highest quality Market Directory to showcase our valuable advertisers.

CHARLOTTE

Advertising Specifications Charlotte International Equestrian Market

at the Charlotte Convention Center • Charlotte, NC Ad Contract Deadline: October 7, 2016 • Ad Copy Deadline: October 14, 2016

We require that all ad materials be submitted as digital files.

Files should be submitted on CD or DVD with all necessary digital files with a hard copy proof –OR– may be emailed or uploaded directly to our graphic designer, Denise Mankin: [email protected]

COMPUTER GENERATED ADS (DIGITAL FILES)

Our printer requires that all ads must be submitted digitally for the printing of the Market Directory. 1) Include all elements it took to create your ad on disk, including photo images and both screen and printer fonts. If you created any images using layers in Photoshop, send the native PSD file as well. 2) Color scans should be 300 dpi or greater Bitmap TIF files, saved as CMYK. 3) Logo scans should be 600 dpi or greater Bitmap TIF files. 4) Preferred file format: PDF files with fonts embedded—be sure PDFs are saved as press ready, or at highest quality resolution. Fonts should be converted to outlines or embedded. Other acceptable file formats include TIF, JPG and EPS. Preferred software on built ads: Macintosh Adobe InDesign CS3 with fonts and linked Adobe Illustrator CS3 and Adobe Photoshop 8.0 TIF or EPS files. Pagemaker 6.5, Quark 5.0 or Freehand files are acceptable but may create complications when converted. PC files are only accepted as TIF or PDF files with fonts embedded. 5) Please save linked and final files as CMYK. Ads sent in RGB or PMS colors may be subject to a fee to convert to CMYK. 6) Provide an accurate proof of your ad whether it is B&W or 4-Color. While some digital proofs are relatively accurate, we cannot be responsible for differences in the proof you send and the actual ad. 7) Acceptable disks: CD ROM or DVD are preferred. Final digital files can also be emailed or sent via FTP to our graphic designer, Denise Mankin (915) 587-0548 or [email protected]. Please contact her if you need more information. Ads needing adjustments, not meeting ad specifications or being created by our production staff will incur additional charges based on the work performed.

CAMERA READY ART

We no longer accept camera ready artwork—all files must be submitted in a digital file format. If you prefer to send a basic layout of your ad and the elements necessary to create the ad, we can recommend our subcontracted artist to create a digital ad for you (for a fee). Production charges will vary according to the complexity of your ad.

THE PUBLICATION

Files are output direct to plate and our printer requires digital files. Offset printing is used for the Market Directory—the Directory is perfect bound or saddle-stitched depending on quantity of inside pages. Any important images or text should be kept in at least 1/2" (live area) from the left and right edges of the page so that the binding doesn’t interfere with them. This applies to all ads. • Ad Size Specs—MARKET DIRECTORY Trim Size: 6" x 9" Bleed Size: 6.25" x 9.25" Image/Live Area: 5" x 8" Image area (safe zone) of ad should be kept to 5" x 8" including border unless your ad bleeds (image runs off the edge of page). If the ad bleeds, please extend image an extra 1/8" all around (6.25" x 9.25"). Crop marks are not necessary, just be sure to include the bleed all 4 sides. If you prefer to include crop marks on your final file, please make sure crop marks are offset at 1/8" (.125"). Return contract, ad copy and payments to:
