Digital Specifications: Please give this helpful sheet to your ad designer to save the most amount of money possible on your ad. Southern Automotive Journal is printed on newsprint and ads require different specs than ads for slick or glossy paper.

Follow specific ad sizing as listed below. Allow for bleeds (full pages only) when applicable.

Submit ads as high resolution PDF files (300 dpi/CMYK color).
All fonts outlined, if applicable.

No rich black. If you have never prepared an ad for newsprint you may not be aware of the following: Black text must be on black plate (do not spread). All black, text and images, must be just black and not stacked or created from other colors. Newsprint registration cannot handle black in that format. Please check your logos for this, too, as they are often overlooked.
Southern Automotive Journal is not responsible for reproduction from furnished materials.
Allow 10% color variance on print run.

Closing Dates: Closing date is the 10th of the month prior to cover date. Production ads must be submitted one week prior to closing date.
