AD REQUIREMENTS
Deadlines are five days prior to insertion High quality print PDF is the preferred format Finished ads must be supplied in CMYK, with all fonts embedded at 300 dpi. All digital files MUST be a minimum of 300 dpi. Most website images are 72 dpi, a resolution which is not suitable for print advertising. All digital images will be accepted in .tif, .eps and .jpg formats All vector images (Illustrator or Freehand) must be saved as an .eps with all text converted to outline. Word documents will not be accepted for final output. Ads sent in camera ready are subject to final approval by the Newspaper publisher.
 
POSITION REQUEST/CHARGES
We do our best to accommodate section requests or select a reasonable alternative. We cannot guarantee that ads of a competitive nature will always be separated. GUARANTEED POSITION CHARGE For an additional 25% charge the Chronicle Newspaper will guarantee the page where an ad will appear, but not the position on the page. Guarantee applies only if the page is available for advertising. Color ads must be on a color page. Available color positions are not determined until the layout process is complete, so the section can be guaranteed, but not the page. Minimum position upcharge is $30.00. If guaranteed placement is not available, the ad will run without guarantee charge—regular rates will apply.  
 
CHURCH, CHARITABLE & ASSOCIATION RATES
Churches and public service non-profit organizations whose primary function is to raise funds for charitable causes, are given a discounted rate. Individual members of a bona fide merchant association may qualify for a discounted group rate when the association runs a promotional section. Contact your Advertising Consultant for qualifications.
