Basic Print Requirement

  • All Impact ads are CMYK and require a press resolution of 300 pixels per inch. Any graphics should be at least 255 pixels per inch at final size with 300 pixels per inch being optimum.
  • Rich Black build is 60C - 40M - 30Y - 100K.
  • Please use this mix for large black areas only - do not use it or the "Registration" swatch for body text, bullet points, etc.
  • Only the cover may bleed.
  • Press resolution (300ppi) pdfs are preferred, but we can accept .jpg, .eps and .tiff file submissions.
