Mechanical Requirements
Saddle-stitched.
Digital file accepted with requirements as follows, please:
- All digital files must be adapted for use on a PC platform.
- We prefer receiving your ad in high resolution EPS or PDF format. Convert all type to outlines, curves or graphic (fonts therefore not needed). Also include, separately, all linked files for any required graphics/images.
- Our second choice is TIF format. Resolution set at 300 DPI at 100%. 
- Ad files to run B&W must be sent to us as only B&W, with no colour included. Colour TIFs or JPGs to be set at CMYK, not RGB or other modes.
- Future revisions to this ad file can only be made by you. For your peace of mind, utilizing these formats ensures that future file access will be blocked to us.
- A hard copy of your display ad should be faxed to us
(604-874-3922) - or should be enclosed with the disk being shipped.
- You are urged to double-check the actual dimensions of your finished display ad before sending, to ensure they match our required mechanical sizes.
- We cannot accept display ads submitted in word processing or office-type software such as MSWord, WordPerfect, MSPublisher, MSPowerPoint etc. If these are your only options, please consult your printing supplier or prepress service bureau for acceptable formats, conversion or film output.
- Any Questions? Please don't hesitate to call our art department in Vancouver: Wil Wong, at 604-874-1001 or toll-free 1-800-888-8811. Fax 604-874-3922.
- Our email address is manager@insurancewest.ca - recommended maximum file size is 3MB.

Helpful DTP tips, comments:
- TIF is a half-tone format based on dots that make up the printed image; therefore, the printing of small type sizes greatly depends on resolution. We recommend 300 DPI at 100% for best results.
- EPS and PDF are vector-based formats which utilize mathematical equations. Type is composed by using curves and lines, thus ensuring a sharper, cleaner-looking image.
- Quark users (Mac/PC): Save as an EPS. Open in Illustrator, Corel or another draw program, embed all logo/images and convert all type to outlines. If you cannot re-edit the EPS file, you will need to submit all linked files separately (logos, images and fonts).
