* Contact us if you prefer dimensions in other units. OVERVIEW The Vocational Truck & Trailer is printed on 60 lb Gloss Tabloid, Web Width 27” DESIGN & PRODUCTION: If required, our graphic designer will help you design and create your advertisement at no extra charge. To get the best results we would need the following; a good quality copy of your logo (original artwork if possible), photos, illustrations, as digital files or scannable images. If you have an existing ad, we can re-size it if necessary. Under certain circumstances if the size of an existing ad does not match our standard dimensions and cannot be changed, we can “float” the ad within the layout of a page. “Bleeds” are accepted. Any supplied art or photographs should be at least 300 dpi if possible (lower resolutions can be used but will result in a lower quality final product). No film required, we go directly from PDF to Plate. PROOFS: A “proof” (low-res copy) of all advertisements created or modified by the publisher (i.e. Vocational Truck & Trailer) will be e-mailed to the advertiser or agency prior to publication. If proofs are not returned for corrections, the publisher assumes that the proof is satisfactory and is authorized for use. All advertisers receive a print copy by mail of the publication(s) in which they appear. COMPUTER ENVIRONMENT: Our graphic design department is MAC based and we primarily use Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign and Acrobat. These applications can accept files produced on PC computers. MEDIA: If files are to be supplied on physical media, we can accept USB Flash Drives, all memory cards, CD-ROM/RW and DVD. AGENCY COMMISSION: We are pleased to work with accredited advertising agencies. A 15% commission is calculated on rates before discount. If you have any questions contact us, we’d love to help because, after all, We Work for You!
