Digital Ad Specs
All electronic ads must be Macintosh compatible and
accompanied by a contract proof (dot-based) such
as Kodak Approval or CREO Spectrum. All color proofs
must meet SWOP standards and we suggest a color
bar for accuracy. Niche Media is not responsible for
ads sent without proofs or ads not meeting our
electronic submission requirements. A design fee
will be incurred for any work Niche Media does on
behalf of the customer. Advertising materials delivered
beyond deadline are subject to additional charges.
