Digital Files

Ads --In color, while we have supplied print photos in the past for ads.....new technology makes digital files the best current type of submission for four color press work (any magazine or book printing). Lower quality will generally result if you use of a print for most publishing applications. We are currently charging a flat fee to prepare and email files directly to the publishers for this type of use.  We do not supply these digital files at these sizes to the owners as we are still in the business of selling photographic prints for personal use.

Sizes up to ¼ page in B/W----------------------------$12.00

Up to ¼ page in Color----------------------------------$17.00

From ¼ page to ½ page in Color --------------------$25.00

From ½ page to a full page bleed in Color---------$35.00

Larger than full page up to 11x14 inches----------$60.00

We do not charge postage and handling on images that we transmit electronically to publishers, presenters and regional booklet award packagers.......usually a single $17 charge will suffice for Nat, Regional, program, booklets,even yearbook if it is the same pose.....if we have to send a CD for any usage, postage and handling will apply...add $5.00 domestically, and the CD must be returned after usage.

Any images supplied digitally must be supplied exact size they are to be reproduced. We will need that information from you when you place the order. In most cases unless we are told otherwise, images supplied to publishers will be submitted in sRGB (color space), at 300dpi at the size requested. If you need bleed room please specify, often this means about 1/8--1/4 inch border larger than the finished size of the advertisement. Files will normally be supplied in 24 bit color as TIF or PSD files. They can be supplied at 24 or 48 bit, and/or in AdobeRGB, ProRGB, as requested...even CMYK...if needed.
