ADVERTISING POLICY

Hold Harmless Requirement
In consideration of publication of an advertisement the advertiser and the agency, jointly and severally, will indemnify and hold harmless the Journal, its officers, agents, and employees against expenses (including legal fees) and losses resulting from the publication of the contents of the advertisement, including, without limitation, claims or suits for libel, violation of right of privacy, copyright infringement or plagiarism.

Policy on Placing Advertising
Advertising will be interspersed among editorials and organizational news, and will be segregated from manuscript text.

Requirements for Acceptance of Advertising
Advertising will be accepted subject to editorial approval. The Publisher reserves the right to reject any advertisement at any time that it feels is not in keeping with the standards of the publication or PPAG.

Reproduction Requirements
Please provide digital files only. Formats accepted are:

1. Adobe Acrobat PDF Files. Embed fonts and use high-resolution images. Postscript Type I fonts (both screen and printer fonts) must be embedded or converted to outlines/curves. All images included must have a resolution of at least 300 dpi. Files must be converted to CMYK colors and show crop marks and register marks.

2. TIF Format. File must have a resolution of at least 300 dpi. Files must be converted to CMYK color.

Please provide a Matchprint or progressive proofs at 100% scale, including marks and file information and indicating color where appropriate, should accompany the ad to ensure proper color match on press. A Matchprint is a positive color proofing film that is made from the four process films, allowing the designer to verify the color balance and tonal reproduction of film positives before going to offset printing. By using the actual negatives, the Matchprint is an accurate representation of how the colors will look when printed. A laser printout is not a Matchprint. PPAG will not be held responsible for inaccurate color without a Matchprint.

Disposition of Materials
In lieu of instructions, reproduction material will be held for one year and then destroyed.
