Full-Page/Fractional Ads: We accept digital files only, preferably high resolution, cymk, font-embedded PDF or PDF/X-1a. Ads must be prepared according to our specification guidelines, which are available by contacting the Advertising Coordinator at 866-505-4687 or emailing inquiries to Ads@Taunton.com. All ads must be accompanied by a proof made from the file submitted to verify content. Color ads must be accompanied by a high-quality, full resolution color proof calibrated to SWOP specifications.
