AD PREPARATION
PERFORMANCE RACING INDUSTRY requires that all ad files be submitted as single page, high-resolution PDF, or PDFx1a files. For multiple ads, send each ad in a separate PDF file.
Document Set Up: Do not build ad on default paper size of 8.5 X 11. Set the document page size to match PRI's ad trim size exactly.
Export PDF: Use PDFx1a settings.
PDF PRODUCTION REQUIREMENTS
Color:Must be sent in CMYK format. No RGB files accepted. Color accuracy is the responsibility of the advertiser and will be held to GRACoL/SWOP standards. B&W art must be sent in Grayscale or Bitmap format.
Images: Minimum resolution of 300 dpi (color or grayscale files) and 1200 dpi (bitmap or line art files). Images and logos from websites are not usable for print, as they are low resolution (72 dpi). Never resample up images, rather scan at high resolution to start. Files must be uncompressed.
Fonts: Embed all fonts in PDF file.
Proofs: Because color views differently from one computer monitor to another, it is highly recommended that a CMYK/SWOP certified color proof accompany the ad file. PRI will assume supplied materials are in compliance with current SWOP specifications.
PRI does not accept responsibility for reproduction or color matching without a SWOP certified color proof. Printer will match color on press as closely to provided proof as Web Offset printing allows.
